Message
Treasure Planet doesn't have an overall message, it's simply a fun adventure story.
Content
Language
There are no swear words in this movie.
Fears
Jim's home is broken into while they are inside, and as he escapes it is set on fire. There's a supernova that draws a lot of parallels to a sea storm, and a planetary explosion that draws parallels to a volcanic eruption. The good guys are captured by the bad guys and tied up.
The pirate crew is made up of aliens and a couple of them may be scary to small kids. They're quite mild compared to what we see in a lot of modern movies, so I don't think most children would find them too scary.
There are no clowns, strong villains, or scenes prompting a fear of the dark.
Family & Relationships
There's a scene describing Jim's father walking out on them when he was young.
There is no loss of a loved one, sexual content, sneaking out, running away, or bullying.
Other Content
While there's not explicit time travel, there's a couple instances of portals being used that may confuse kids who haven't been exposed to the idea of them before.
Treasure Planet has a lot of futuristic tech/magic: pirate looking ships fly through space with solar sails, gravity can be turned on and off, robots are sentient, and there's alien creatures.
Conclusion
I find Treasure Planet to be a fun take on a classic tale. There's very little to object to, and there's no lesson to learn.
