History YMMV / TreasureIsland1988

** NarmCharm: That being said, Jan Rabson's performance as Silver still has its intimidating moments, particularly when he threatens the other mutinous pirates.

** In particular, the "Livesey [[SillyWalk Walk]]", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4vbyhHGsRw an edit that sets a scene where Jim, Livesey, and Trelawny smugly strut into a bar to Ghostface Playa's "Why Not",]] went viral during August 2022, leading to art of characters from other fandoms doing the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2plz-Wf4fU same]] [[https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/5638962 swaggering]] [[https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/5609324 walk]].

* CannotUnhearIt: Jan Robson gave Jim Hawkins the same voice he would later use for [[VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry Larry Laffer]].

* SignatureScene: Because of the character's FountainOfMemes status, Dr. Livesey's introduction scene and his "The words 'rum' and 'death' is one and the same to you!" quote is recognisable to many people who haven't even watched the whole cartoon.

* {{Narm}}: The English dub, with its often stilted or miscast vocal performances and tendency to insert ''the'' most generic cartoon sound effects that sound ripped straight from Creator/HannaBarbera whenever they can ends up ruining whatever serious scenes the cartoon ''does'' maintain from the source material. Jim's lines often have a DullSurprise tinge to them, Blind Pew is far less intimidating, and the generic sound effects are even used during Billy Bones's death scene!

** The animation's incarnation of Dr. Livesey has become this, being considered a "[[RatedMForManly Chad]]" due to his shape, fighting skill, and [[BoisterousBruiser personality.]]

* EvilIsCool: This incarnation of Long John Silver is well-loved by viewers thanks to his very menacing and terrifying presence despite his appearance, being able to give out chilling threats in a calm yet sinister manner. His low gravely voice with a calm and gentle tone courtesy of celebrated Armenian Russian actor Armen Dzhigarkhanyan definitely helps.

* FountainOfMemes: The movie's version of Dr. Livesey became a major source of internet memes during TheNewTwenties, thanks to his boisterous personality and fighting skills.

* {{Narm}}: The English dub, with its often stilted or miscast vocal performances and tendency to insert ''the'' most generic cartoon sound effects that sound ripped straight from Creator/HannaBarbera whenever they can ends up ruining whatever serious scenes the cartoon ''does'' maintain from the source material. Jim's lines can come across as very stilted, Blind Pew is far less intimidating, and the generic sound effects are even used during Billy Bones's death scene!

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: It's not uncommon to see people speculate that Dr. Livesey's near-constant smiling and laughter is actually [[BeneathTheMask performative in some way,]] pointing to his book-counterpart being a veteran who was wounded in the Battle of Fontenoy, and how his sometimes unsettling-looking facial expressions could suggest he's forcing a cheery attitude. Alternatively, others believe he really ''is'' that joyful, but his experiences as a doctor, veteran, and magistrate is simply lead him to live his life to the fullest, such as slowing down to smell the flowers while he's fighting three pirates.

** "The word 'rum' and the word 'death' are one and the same to you! Do you understand?" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Perhaps Dr. Livesey's most iconic line from the film. In context, he's simply warning Billy Bones that he's likely to die if he keeps drinking alcohol. But since, out of context, it sounds like an ImpliedDeathThreat, it only added to the Doctor's MemeticBadass status.[[/labelnote]]

* FridgeBrilliance: The Bobby song can come off as totally random as mentioned above, but it actually makes sense when you realize the song's subject is actually referring to Billy Bones, and the lyrics are Pew and Black Dog subtly threatening him that they're about to try getting the map from him by any means, all the while pretending to just be street musicians with Billy not recognizing them for who they really are then, hence why he's so shocked to see them come to him individually shortly afterwards.
