!!''Treasure Island'' provides examples of the following tropes:

-->--'''[[MemeticBadass Dr. Livesey]]'''

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: John Silver is noticeably paler than every other character in the film and has jet-black hair.

* BrutalHonesty: Smollett's dossier says that he "likes to tell the truth in the eye, and suffers for it".

* IronButtMonkey: Smollett. He's not as much dumbed down in the adaptation as it would seem, and retains most of his dialogue from the book, only with his temper greatly exaggerated. It's just a lot of [[AmusingInjuries unfortunate stuff]] tends to happen to him, especially in action scenes. However, he's cartoonishly tough and just brushes all of it off, suffering a messed wig at most.

''Treasure Island'' (''Остров сокровищ''), also known as ''Return to Treasure Island'', is a classic Russian language Soviet Ukrainian two-part comedic AnimatedAdaptation of an [[Literature/TreasureIsland eponymous book]] by Creator/RobertLouisStevenson, directed by David Cherkasskiy and starring Valery Chiglyayev as Captain Flint[=/=]The Narrator, Valery Bessarab as Jim Hawkins, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan as John Silver, Viktor Andriyenko as Captain Smollett and Billy Bones, Evgeny Paperny as Dr. Livesey, Boris Vozniak as Squire Trelawney and Yuri Yakovlev as Ben Gunn.

''Treasure Island'' (''Остров сокровищ''), also known as ''Return to Treasure Island'', is a classic Soviet Ukrainian[[note]]though it's in Russian due to the Soviet Union being dominated by Russia[[/note]] two-part comedic AnimatedAdaptation of an [[Literature/TreasureIsland eponymous book]] by Creator/RobertLouisStevenson, directed by David Cherkasskiy and starring Valery Chiglyayev as Captain Flint[=/=]The Narrator, Valery Bessarab as Jim Hawkins, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan as John Silver, Viktor Andriyenko as Captain Smollett and Billy Bones, Evgeny Paperny as Dr. Livesey, Boris Vozniak as Squire Trelawney and Yuri Yakovlev as Ben Gunn.

** Trelawny's manservants, as well as Abraham Gray, are never mentioned.

* Captain Smollett had NoIndoorVoice and could be bumbling, but he was undeniably courageous, and he did well enough as a captain to rally his allies together. In the English dub, his lines often have a cowardly undertone to them, coming across as him really being afraid of what's happening, but he won't admit it.

The first part, titled "The Map of Captain Flint", was aired in 1986, followed by more refined "The Treasure of Captain Flint" two years later.

** Captain Smollett is a complete joke, but he's also MadeOfIron and shrugs off (literally) being repeatedly crushed by a log wall.

* OffModel: Silver's leg keeps switching.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the last shots of the movie, Israel Hands is seen still clinging to the rope holding the masts of the ''Hispanola'' together. Amusingly, this is also a subversion of a DeathByAdaptation he suffers in the book, since the real, historical Hands actually survived his pirate career, retired and died as a penniless beggar in England.

* PerpetualSmiler: Dr. Livesey is a kind and very optimistic man who always has a huge smile on his face and speaks with a heartful laugh. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Through he does dropped his smile a few times, but only briefly in a few scenes where Long John Silver is involved in]].

* ShoutOut: The dossiers that introduce every main character are a reference to the Soviet spy drama ''Series/SeventeenMomentsOfSpring'', where members of the SS were introduced in the same way.

* PerpetualSmiler: Dr. Livesey is a kind and very optimistic man who always has a huge smile on his face and speaks with a heartful laugh. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Through he does dropped his smile a few time through only briefly in a few scenes where Long John Silver is involved in]].

* PerpetualSmiler: Dr. Livesey is a kind and very optimistic man who always has a huge smile on his face and speaks with a heartful laugh.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Perhaps the only point when Livesey loses his trademark grin is when Trelawny, upon meeting Silver, flat out tells him that they're after Flint's treasures (and that's not long after Livesey warned him against doing exactly that). The doctor gives Jim a very worried look, with "What is this moron doing?!" practically written on his face, before resigning and putting the smile back up again. He does it again when Smollett is talking to John Silver.
