Review

This is the best film of all times, involving pirates, space and treasure. Disney’s first fully fleshed out action animation movie is a fairly accurate retelling of the Robert Louis Stevenson novel.

But there are rough skies ahead when he discovers that John Silver, the cyborg, may not be a friend after all!
