This Toei anime adaptation of Stevenson's classic takes much more liberties with the original than others, but still maintains the sense of pure adventure; even when it changes the bond between Jim and Long John Silver to one with a girl of his same age called Kathy, who is a descendant of Captain Flint. In a way this makes that the movie loses this very good attraction between good and evil and the end result is more conventional, but still, the duo of kids is reminiscent of some works of Miyazaki; which is normal because he was deeply involved in this film at the beginning of his career.
