Made for British TV and featuring the voice talents of Richard Grant, Juliet Stevenson, and Robert Powell, this nicely animated animal version of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic pirate tale starts off as a faithful adaptation but then veers all over the place with magical creatures and side plots. Dead men may tell no tales, but credits can be pretty revealing and the ones here suggest that the program was originally a TV series not a feature film. Kids will enjoy, but this is not, strictly, Treasure Island as we know it. Optional. Aud: P. (R. Pitman)
