Extravagant Disney live-action adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel. Young Jim Hawkins boards an English vessel with the mission to uncover buried treasure previously stolen from them, but the captain makes the mistake of letting Long John Silver hire the crew who would rather do something else with the treasure. Each cast member fits their part perfectly. The movie is both entertaining and exciting. A wonderful film to view with kids.
