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
>>217348311the parrot steal more than a couple of scenes>"make sure you stow her below deck with women aboard" - Silver
>>217347115and here I thought Disney actually had an original concept. Should have known Treasure Planet was just a copy/paste plus production value from another studio>20 years before Disney's Treasure Planet made its theatrical debut, Bulgarian company Sofia Animation Studio came out with the first animated adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic called The Treasure Planet. Directed by Rumen Petkov, who later worked on a number of animated series, including Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo, the movie featured a couple of big names among its English-dubbing voice actors, including Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and a young Bryan Cranston as the Jim Hawkins-based Felipe.
>>217348562why keep birds if ya don't teach them blue jokes
Orson Welles' rendition of Silver was a let down, even if he only took the role to con a producer out of financing his pet project
>>217348273truth nuke
