Trivia:

The film's look is based on 19th-Century oil painting illustrations. Since oil paintings were difficult to scan into the computer, all the backgrounds were created digitally.

Goofs:

Continuity: Jim is first seen sitting on top of the inn while eavesdropping on Dr. Doppler and his mother when he slides off the roof to meet with the turtle like alien who crashed out on a ledge. When Jim is seen carrying the alien from its ship back to the inn, they are no longer out on the ledge, but on a dirt road much further away.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Narrator: On the clearest of nights, when the winds of the Etherium were calm and peaceful, the great merchant ships, with their cargos of Arcturian solar crystals, felt safe and secure. Little did they suspect that they were persued by... pirates. And the most feared of all these pirates was the notorious Captain Nathaniel Flint.

Movie Connections:

Remake of "L'isola del tesoro" (1987)

Wonderful!

I loved T.P from the first time I saw the preview. I went to see it with my friends and we were just dazzled by the brilliance of the story. (sorry about my cruddy spelling)I instantly took a liking to young Jim Hawkins and the charming John Silver, and fell in love with the wonderful animation. It's been three years since the movie came out, and I'm still crazy about it. I've watched it over 300 times. It is truly wonderful and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes real honest to god animated movies.

About the Disney's biggest flop thing, chill out people. That's no reason not to watch the movie. It's simply a mater of opinion. If you don't like the outer space theme, or whatever, then don't watch it. Just don't go around discrediting it....There are fans of the movie out there, lots of them, so just CHILL!

Hope I was at least a little helpful! -Blackbird
