   	Hey, I saw it too.  Disney Channel Southeast Asia for some reason   
   figured it should run _Treasure Planet_ even more than it ran _Monsters   
   Inc_ or _Dinosaur_, if you can imagine.

   	They really under-applied the hover and force field technology,   
   as I see it.  At a minimum they could have had a flying Corvette.   
      
   	Still, the whole car-ruining scene was very important to the plot   
   what with how it established ... uhm ... that important plot point that   
   it did, I suppose.
