I like the historical aspect of this being how pirates behavior in cinema became known and where the inspiration for pirates of the Caribbean ride came from, but I really wasn't into the movie itself

As someone who truly adores the 2002 adaptation 'Treasure Planet', I had a feeling I would thoroughly enjoy this retelling of the Robert Louis Stevenson novel too - and I very much did. Disney's first live-action production is outstanding! I knew what was generally occurring given the aforementioned, yet I still had a fantastic time watching. My only negative would be the ending, which is (only a little) underwhelming. Robert Newton is brilliant as Long John Silver, easily the best character on display here. He brings humour, sternness but also heart to the role. Bobby Driscoll, as Jim Hawkins, does a very impressive job, performing way above his tender age. Basil Sydney (Smollett), Walter Fitzgerald (Squire) and Denis O'Dea (Livesey) are also good, while Geoffrey Wilkinson appears memorably as Ben. The score could've been richer, while the backgrounds onboard the ships haven't aged incredibly. Those are only minor things though, as 'Treasure Island' impresses wonderfully elsewhere.

Disney's Treasure Island was fantastic. It has been many...many...years since I lasted watched Treasure Island. As I got older, and became more knowledgeable on Disney and their movies, this movie became even more important and special. Robert Newton's, Long John Silver, is second to none. Newtown single-handedly changed the way that we think of pirates and how they talk/dress/act. Newton made this movie something to be "treasured" for future generations.

This is a cracking interpretation of Robert Louis Stevenson's tale of a hunt for a legendary treasure on a remote desert island. Robert Newton is superb as the double-dealing, one-legged "Long John Silver" who would betray his own mother if needs be, enlisted by the foolish "Squire Trelawney" to rai More
