This animated retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic Treasure Island centers around the youthful Jim Hawkins, whose accidental finding of an old map cues the advent of a dangerous treasure hunt marked by pirates, a series of physical obstacles, and a damsel in distress. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi
No matter how bright many of its ideas may be, however, Treasure Island is far from satisfying, as such matters as narrative coherence and dramatic credibility have been treated as annoyances worthy of being ignored.
For all the ideas it tosses around -- and many of them are useful and painful correctives to our rose-colored fantasies -- Treasure Island is too crude a movie to muster much rhetorical clout.
Though it will surely confound mainstream audiences, it should prove something of a treasure for viewers prepared for a provocative and idiosyncratic work.
