Treasure Island (1973)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Hal Sutherland
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Warner Bros.)

Filmation's animated, musical adaptation of the familiar Robert Louis Stevenson story offers nothing new. It suffers from the usual dismal quality of the studio's other output, with rigid movement and a lack of style. However, a couple of the supporting characters manage to stand out, particularly a pirate with a harmonica permanently stuck in his throat and three pirates attached at the shoulders! The Monkees' Davy Jones voices Jim Hawkins and Richard Dawson is Long John Silver.
