What is the best film adaptation of Treasure Island and who has the best portrayal of Long John Silver?
>>217347099Treasure Planet, unironically.
Idk but gina davis was so fucking hot in that one pirate movie I'm going to jack off to it in 3 hours when my wife goes to sleep god i hate that bitch
Much as I love Muppet Treasure Island and Tim Curry, Robert Newton's Long John Silver is still THE stereotypical pirate voice 70 years later
Played both Captain Hook and Silver. Curry was pirate kino.
>>217347099read the book, n word
>>217347099Considering how many times I watched pic related as a kid, its no contest. Its just burnt into my brain.
>>217347236Honestly I don't think any male should be allowed to make it out of childhood without reading the book. Its just the perfect adventure book, Jim Hawkins was a great protagonist any kid could self insert as.
>>217347214Newton had the quintessential pirate patois, but Beery had a certain swashbuckler charm that made him believable as a role model of sorts to Hawkins.
>>217347236fuck off to /lit faggot
>>217347332>had the quintessential pirate patois>hadNigga he invented it. Pirates didn't talk like that before him, and after him, thats how they ALL talked. arrrrrrrrrr
>>217347244I never really took to Disney's 1950 version. Treasure Planet was more entertaining on their part
>>217347283agreed. I'm surprised there aren't more young male adventure films. The formation of a adolescent's character towards that of a man through adventure has such fertile grounds for storytelling. T2 is the last film I can think of that even attempted this feel.
>>217347506i was in college when treasure planet came out. The disney version was the definitive version for decades. Always seemed to be one of those movies we'd watch when the teacher was hung over.
>La Isla del TesoroNever seen this but it has high rating on IMDB. I don't think I could past the art quality.
>>217347099The Takarajima anime from the 70s has the best portrayal of John Silver and it's not even close.
>>217347244Absolutely this. And don't give me Treasure Planet, it turned Jim into a gay mommas boy.
>>217347945Does it have English VAs? I wonder what a Japanese pirate sounds like
>>217347605I don't know that there aren't, because its not exactly a genre aimed at me anymore. Also since the hunger games, the YA meta seems to be a plucky female protagonist. Which makes sense, way more women read books than men.
>>217347115I wish he was my dad.
>>217347966Don't get me wrong, I like treasure planet a lot. When I finally did get around to watching it after ignoring it for ages I was surprised at how good of an adaptation it was, and the whole art design was just gorgeous and justifies the space-fantasy setting. Plus cat wife.
>>217347244It's easily the best Disney live-action movie. and best overall adaptation.>>217347945>>217347791This is the best Long John Silver tho. A grown man with a boy's heart, an amoral (not immoral) lover of adventure for it's own sake.
>>217348237>best Disney live-action movie.lets not be too hasty
>>217347099gotdam even the parrot's acting. Never seen the Beery one
