Treasure Island vs. Treasure Planet
"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest - Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!" (Stevenson, 1) This is a song that you hear throughout Robert Lois Stevenson's (RLS) novel, Treasure Island. A young boy accidentally falls into the world of pirates and treasure when he becomes the owner of a much sought after treasure map. The voyage of Jim Hawkins takes on adventures way out at sea and on an uncharted island far from his home at the Admiral Benbow Inn in England. Walt Disney Pictures takes this story and brings it to life onscreen adding some of their own twists. Here young Jim Hawkins, working at Benbow Inn on the planet Montressor, sets out on adventure in a boat that sails through galaxies in search of Treasure Planet, where the infamous treasure in Captain Flint lies. Although it is the plot that RLS's Treasure Island and Disney's Treasure Planet share, elements such as the beginning, setting, ending and characters vary from the book compared to the movie, making an obvious distinction between the two.Treasure Island is told by Jim Hawkins' own memories of the voyage.

In Treasure Planet, Jim and his companions find shelter in B. ls Jim of his journey's as well as warning him about the man with one leg. In the movie, a booby trap was set, and upon discovery of the treasure, the planet was rigged to explode. Two versions starting and ending off very different from one another, seem to come together nicely by showing that you can find the most influential and intelligent people in the most unlikely of places. Captain Flint hid his treasure very well in both versions, but only the pirates in the movie discovered the treasure. The names of the main characters are the same in both, but their species and companions differ. In the book, the location of where the treasure was buried was discovered, but by then it had been dug up and nowhere to be seen, leaving the pirates angry and wanting revenge. Immediately after dying, a cyborg and his goons break into the Benbow Inn and try to catch Jim and his mother to get the sphere. Both islands are covered by forest, but in Treasure Planet once they leave the main boat, no one goes back at any point except at the end to get them off of the planet. In both stories, the main reason for their travels to far away places is to find Captain Flint's treasure. Disney's Jim enlists the help of an old family friend, Dr.
