Description:
Ahoy, mateys! Come aboard the good ship Hispaniola and set sail in search of buried treasure in one of Disney's most critically acclaimed adventure classics -- presented in its original, uncut theatrical version! In his first all-live-action feature, Walt Disney has vividly brought to life Robert Louis Stevenson's timeless tale of buccaneers and buried gold. Authentic locales, rich color photography, and musket-roaring action set the stage for the stouthearted heroics of young Jim Hawkins (Bobby Driscoll) -- and the skullduggery of that wily, one-legged pirate of all pirates, Long John Silver. Aye, for the kind of excitement that only treasure and treachery can bring, there's no better destination than TREASURE ISLAND!

Strap on your pantaloons and prepare to travel with Jim Hawkins and Blind Pew to one of the most famous fictional islands in history. Walt Disney's 1950 adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's swashbuckling masterpiece has held up extremely well, with action and characterizations that feel freshly minted (although it's unlikely that the Mouse of today would sanction the high level of booze flowing throughout the picture). Great fun, with nary a wasted frame and, in the character of Robert Newton's much-imitated Long John, one of cinema's most boisterously crowd-pleasing villains ever. (Proving that you can't keep a good--er, bad man down, Newton would return with director Byron Haskins for the enjoyable sequel, Long John Silver.) Watching this classic is like having a flashback to some perfect Technicolor childhood. --Andrew Wright

Disney's version is pretty damm good! I have watched both versions back to back. I will still have to give the edge to the original (1934 movie). Would highly recommend Disney's version. Edge to the pirates in original, edge to Robert Newton as Long John Silver, edge to Jackie Cooper in original movie especially in closing scene, Bobby Driscoll does a fine job but Cooper is better where it matters. Overall I am proud to have both of these movies in my collection.

There's something sad about we Boomers. It's this tendency to look back at mediocre 1950s entertainment (television, film, or music) and glorify it. Such is the case with Disney's "Treasure Island."
This was a Disney production, like so many during the 1950s, that was aimed at an adolescent audience, not the public at-large. It motors through the story with limited style and very little substance. I am not being facetious when I say that the old Classic Illustrated comic book provides ... Read More

Treasure Island is a great story and this is a very well-done movie. Robert Newton as Long John Silver is especially outstanding. This is a nostalgia piece for me, and I greatly enjoyed seeing it again after many, many years. Likely it would not appeal to the younger generation--no mayhem, sex, gratuitous violence, profanity, etc.

From youth to age I cast in a bottle on the sea of time. The message is
and was that Treasure Island was and still is my favorite live action drama from Disney studios. Bobby Driscoll as Jim Hawkins and Robert Newton as Long John Silver are every bit as mesmerizing as I remembered. This was not a "pieces of eight" experience.
