Treasure Planet - Blog Posts
To this day I will ALWAYS love this movie and style of animation. Everything is so beautiful and the story is sublime. It's sad to say that Disney just doesn't do it like this anymore.
I redid that entire KH-what-if-disney/not-disney-worlds sketch page from 2019 👁👁
Favourite Pairings…
Tagged by @annaofthenorthernlights - thank you, this is such a sweet game! I could fill it entirely with Frozen ships, but you know, variety and all that… 💜
Without naming them, post a gif of ten of your favourite ships (any media) and tag as many people to do the same.

💫To Be A Man💫
Thrilled I get to post my part of @ghostsharkpress ‘s transology zine before pride month ends. Our prompt was to recontextualize a formative childhood cartoon through the lense of transness/gncness.
These are thoughts I’ve had spilling around in my head for a while and seeing how important Treasure Planet was for me as a kid I thought it would be perfect. I always struggled with the fact I don’t really have any older male guide or figure to learn myself from so as a kid I tried to mimic the masculinity of shows or my peers. Growing older and wanting to step out of boyhood has really been a journey of self discovery and self worth and I’m really proud of the person I’m becoming.
I recently watched the first one and it’s sooo good! Still sad that they didn’t make another movie!
I really enjoy drawing this~🪐✨ Drawing Silver was really interesting and I definitely want to do it again.~ 🪐✨🖤
Treasure planet is my ultimate favourite~🏴☠️✨

Let's talk about respect for each other, dear fans of "Treasure Island" by David Cherkassky
(although I recommend that other fans of the film/cartoon adaptations of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel join in).
Before I start talking about the problem in the Russian fandom of Treasure Island 1988, I want to say: I am Russian too and I am writing this not because I am an offended foreigner, but because I am ashamed of you all (this is a message to the fanatics works of Cherkassky).
The fact is that I noticed one interesting detail that helps to distinguish the Russian Internet from the English one. On the English-speaking internet, I feel comfortable saying that I like Takarajima because I know that most people will react either positively or neutrally. But on the Russian-language Internet, I need to conduct a fairly long search to find a person who will not judge me for loving anime. On the Russian Internet, treating someone neutrally or respectfully is considered a new fashion...
I don’t feel like I’m part of the Russian-speaking fans of the 1988 film adaptation, since I also love other film adaptations of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel. And this is... strange, because in theory we should share our love for various cartoons and films, and not beat those who love other works or are afraid of being beaten.
I have often come across the opinion that David Cherkassky is a genius and that only his version of Treasure Island is correct. I've often read that fans of 1988's Treasure Island think other adaptations from other countries are weird. I have often come across the opinion that there is only one correct and good film adaptation of Stevenson’s novel.
And I'm sick of it all.
Man who is over thirty years old and who calls children idiots for unfunny memes about your favorite cartoon, I am addressing you and others like you. I appeal to all those who cannot see what even blind Pew would see.
THERE IS NO CORRECT OR IDEAL FILM OR CARTOON ADAPTATION OF "TREASURE ISLAND"!
In the entire history of cinema, there has never been a perfect adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel that everyone liked.
And now I will prove it:
The 1965 adaptation may seem strange in terms of plot, instead of people it's all animals, and the ending is different from the ending of the original story;
The 1971 adaptation left virtually nothing of the original story;
The 1978 adaptation often deviates from the canonical development of events in order to stretch the runtime over twenty-odd episodes;
Treasure Planet 1982 is a drug trip for everyone who worked on this cartoon (the budget for this cartoon is three packs of cocaine and marijuana, I'm sure of it);
The 1988 adaptation is a comedy based on the novel, which did not include enough characters (for example, Jim's parents remained somewhere off-screen) and events;
Legends of Treasure Island (1993) is a mystery series where events from Stevenson's novel appear less and less as the series progresses;
The 2002 DVD adaptation is not particularly pleasing with its cheap animation and character reactions (some people find the film adaptation rather boring and faded);
Treasure Planet 2002 may not appeal to some due to the space setting and decisions related to the characters (for example, not everyone will appreciate the fact that Smollett became an alien catwoman and that Livesey and Trelawney were combined into one character) and plot.
However, all these cartoon adaptations also have advantages:
The 1965 adaptation has an interesting twist on how predators have to hide their real selves. I'm talking about claws and how they have to fight the urge to walk on two legs. This also explains why the bones in the chest are treasure to them;
What may be interesting about the 1971 adaptation is that it deviates greatly from the original book;
The 1978 adaptation boasts beautiful stills that you wouldn't be ashamed to frame on your wall, and a soundtrack that might make some people cry ("Oh yes, yes! Play that violin even harder! I want to hear all your skill in this composition!! Ah~");
1982's Treasure Planet appeals to some people precisely because it's quite weird. “So bad it’s good” is how you can describe it. Character design and weird animation can also come in (I like Jim);
People like the 1988 adaptation due to the ease of storytelling, fun and vivid images of characters that you will not be able to forget. I also like it because it teaches the right things, for example, they say that smoking and drinking are harmful to human health (thanks to these songs, I don’t consider smoking and drinking alcohol something cool);
Legends of Treasure Island 1993 can help people relive their innocent childhood and forget about reality for a while. There are violent moments and interesting plot developments that are fun to follow;
The 2002 adaptation follows the book almost exactly. Jim is still a good boy and he, like the others, is not annoying (considering the quality of the picture, this could have happened, but did not);
Treasure Planet 2002 is interesting to watch, at least because it combined the 18th century and the theme of space. Because of this idea, we have a unique product about space, which is unique among all others. As a person who doesn’t like the theme of space because of monotony (the theme of modernity in any work is not interesting to me, just like the future), I admit that wooden ships in space captivated me.
And this is without even mentioning the other cartoons and films based on the book (and there are a lot of them)! But I think that it has already become clear to you that everywhere and in all film adaptations, in addition to the bad, there is also good. I know I haven't talked about Treasure Island from the Muppets or McDonald's, but the fact is that I haven't watched them yet. I'll definitely watch everything!
However, my goal was not to talk about all the film adaptations of my favorite book - my goal was to show that you can find at least one more film adaptation of Treasure Island that you like.

And before I finish writing this post, I want to offer you three simple rules that, if followed, can reconcile fans of different “Treasure Islands” (I hope they'll work).
And these three rules sound like this:
1) Read the original novel by Robert Louis Stevenson (not a summary, not a short version of the book, but the whole story);
2) Watch other cartoons and films based on the book and find those film adaptations that you like to talk about;
3) Treat other fans of the book and/or any other film adaptation with respect if they behave appropriately.
That's all, dear readers. Thank you for reading my post. You can safely express your opinion in the comments, I just ask you to write calmly and adequately. What's your favorite Treasure Island adaptation? What other cartoon or anime do I not know about?
I've never seen Treasure Planet before. Well, maybe it's time. What do you think about it?

Decided to re-do my version of Kate Blake!
what exactly I'd your headcannon for Jim? I'm curious
YES!!
The headcanon i do like to post about is that Jim isn’t completely/100% human! I am aware that whilst Montressor does have some human life, I like to believe that at least someone in his ancestry was in love with a non-human civilian. I mean like, judging by the scrapped sequel it’s totally possibly for that to happen.
The interpretation that I like to put, is that Jim is specifically part Ursid (which is also Silver’s species)! Though it’s totally up to you to figure out his genetic makeup, I only chose Ursid because I rlly like bears and I wanted to give myself another reason as to why Jim and Silver might be so connected in terms of their father-and-son bond!
The lesser bold side-headcanon is just that Jim has slight scarring. Not from anything too intense or dangerous, but possible accidents or failed stunts/tricks with his Solar Surfer.
