Presented in its original\, uncut theatric al version. In his first all-live-action feature\, Walt Disney vividly bro ught to life Robert Louis Stevenson's timeless tale of buccaneers and buri ed gold. Authentic locales\, rich color photography\, and musket-roaring a ction set the stage for the stouthearted heroics of young Jim Hawkins (Bob by Driscoll) -- and the skullduggery of that wily\, one-legged pirate of a ll pirates\, Long John Silver. Aye\, for the kind of excitement that only treasure and treachery can bring\, there's no better destination than TREA SURE ISLAND!
\nThe movie was filmed in England where Disney had "fro zen" pounds following World War II -- that is\, film revenue that couldn't be spent outside of England. To create authenticity\, the filmmakers used numerous "glass shots" in which an artificial background and extension we re painted onto glass in front of the camera lens\, creating amazingly rea listic results. Three camera crews worked on the film: one shooting out on the ocean\, one shooting exteriors\, and one shooting interiors in the st udio. Because young star Bobby Driscoll -- the only American in the film - - didn't have an extended work permit\, director Byron Haskin had to film all of his scenes first and complete the rest of the film without him. Vio lence in the film -- including a stabbing and two shootings -- initially e arned the 1950 release a PG rating. To earn a G rating\, the scenes were c ut out for the film's 1975 re-release.
