User Comment: (moviebuff-2) Raleigh, N.C. • "Treasure Island" is one of many famous stories in literature that has been adapted numerous times to the silver screen. Disney's 1950 live-action film is, IMO, the best version. Robert
Newton is a delight as Long John Silver. He alone deserves an award for the role. Bobby Driscoll is, also IMO, so right for the part of Jim Hawkins, probably his best role in a Disney film. He's the only American in the cast of many British talents. I
would love for the Disney studios to release their classic live-action films on DVD, including this one. Since their adventure films were popular with people around the world, why not give them a chance to enjoy them all over again? Anyway, this is yet
another Disney classic for movie lovers and Disney fans alike.
Summary: One of Disney's best adventure films.
