TREASURE PLANET

(Comcast Movie Collections: Animated Fantasy) Cross Patrick O’Brian with Jimmy Neutron, and you’ll get some idea of the conceptual weirdness of this Disney cartoon, an outer-space updating of Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island.” As literary desecrations go, it’s acceptable children’s entertainment, with dandy vocal characterizations from the likes of Emma Thompson, David Hyde Pierce, and Martin Short. Ultimately, though, the characters are as thin as the animation cels on which they’re drawn. (PG; runs through June 18) Ty Burr

RUNAWAY BRIDE

(Comcast Movie Collections: Weddings Gone Wild) With her fleeing skills intact, Julia Roberts segues from “Notting Hill” without missing a step. That was an engaging and skillfully made factory object, and so is this one. Roberts plays the altar-shy one with disarming comic goofiness. Richard Gere brings finesse to his role of hotshot newspaperman who can’t help falling for her. Predictable, but it’s a warm, appealing throwback to old screwball newspaper comedies — and a lot easier to take than their “Pretty Woman” matchup. (PG; runs through July 2)

FEARLESS

(Comcast Movie Collections: Drama) Compelling take on air-crash survivors Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez, who look to one another for salvation. The film represents a stretch for everyone in it, and it’s Bridges’s breakthrough film. Here’s where he leaves his aging-surfer persona behind with a riveting performance of raw emotional power. His ability to convey pain and confusion and transcendence in a single squint makes the film special. (R; runs through 2029)
