History WesternAnimation / TheLegendsOfTreasureIsland

* PutOnTheBus: Captain Smollett and Dr Livesey are left tending to the ship while the others search the island in Season Two. Silver's mooks are also OutOfFocus and have disappeared after "Silver's Bond". However, [[spoiler:TheBusCameBack for the former two in the [[BackForTheFinale final episode]].]]

* RiddleForTheAges: The mysteries of what Treasure Island really is are not truly revealed within the series and there is no clear case on why there are things like magic or MoleMen or mer creatures. Let alone Pew's powers or [[spoiler:what the artifact he was given does besides protect him from being killed.]]

* ShooOutTheClowns: [[spoiler:In the final episode, Silver is defeated, but it isn't over yet. At night, Pew knocks out most of the crew, including the Squire, who was part of the humor of the show. And things get more serious after Smollett is killed before the final battle between Pew, Jim, and Jane commences.]]
* SparedByTheAdaptation: What happens to Jim's father isn't shown but Dr. Livesey tells Jim that "he's fine", he's also a CompositeCharacter with Billy Bones (both of whom died in the original). It may be [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when [[spoiler:Jim sees the spirit of his father in episode 13, implying that Jim's father may have passed away while Jim was on the island.]]

* TheStarscream: Long John will usually double cross anyone he strikes a bargain with. He tries to get rid of Pew a couple of occasions (this becomes [[XanatosSpeedChess complicated]] in the penultimate episode, since Pew intends to do just the same to him).
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Pew's [[ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes pupil-less]] [[GlowingEyesOfDoom eyes]] tend to glow brightly sometimes, despite him blind.
* SwallowedWhole: Late in series 2, Jim gets swallowed by a dragon Pew summoned, and Silver gets teleported into the bowels of the beast by his "boss" to retrieve him.

* TwinkleInTheEye: [[spoiler:Pew's eyes twinkle when he's hit by the object Jane throws at him, just before he slumps and dies.]]

* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: For some odd reason, in the penultimate episode, an episode before [[spoiler:Captain Smollett and Dr. Livesey return to help Jim from Pew's grasp]], the devil sidekicks Silver had accompanied disappeared and aren't referenced again once Silver with Pew, Jim, and Ben enter the cave.
** Also, Pew had another baby dragon he found after the events of "Dragon". It is unknown what happened to it or the vultures he used afterwards once Silver, Pew, Jim, and Ben enter the cave to find [[spoiler:the fake treasure chest]].
** In "Silver's Bond", the three surviving pirates, Morgan the Warthog, Nebbich the Hyena, and Rat were last seen burying the Squire up to his neck before they left him for dead. And yet we never see either of the three in this series ever again after that.
** In the episode "Return to Sender", we meet a friend of Ben's named Black Jack, who lives on an adjacent island and plays long-distance chess with him. This is the only episode we see him in, and presumably he's still on the island by the end of the series (if he wasn't killed by one of the various natural disasters).

* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: However, while there are mostly animals in the cast, the mer people, bird people, possibly the ghost in "Reunion" and even a pirate in "Silver in the Island's Underworld" are seen to be more human/humanoid than animal-based.

* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler: Captain Smollett]], who reappeared in the finale after being absent through the majority of Season Two, only to be killed off [[spoiler:by Pew]].
* BarbieDollAnatomy: The series portrays merpeople and demons with visible nipples, except for mermaids who all have GodivaHair, but then, chapter 12 has this (in)famous example: Jane, of all people!, decides to take a swim in a lake, but first she takes off her coat and her shirt, keeping on her breeches, stockings and for some reason, her shoes. Thankfully, being an anthropomorphic [[InformedSpecies cat/vixen/squirrel/whatever]], helps her being covered in fur, but viewers still were taken by surprise.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: In "The Oracle", when Silver and Jim with his friends get transported to an undersea kingdom, they're able to breathe in the waters due to the magic that brought and kidnapped them to Galathea's kingdom where they would be fed to a kracken.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Jim and friends have finally found the treasure and can now finally go home without worry. Plus both Pew and Long John Silver are finally gone for good. However, they sadly lost Captain Smollett at the hands of Pew.]]
* BlindWeaponmaster: Pew's weapon of choices seem to mostly be his staff in Season 1 while at the end of Season 2, he uses his sword for fighting.

* CompositeCharacter: Here, Jim's father plays both that role and that of Billy Bones, former member of Captain Flint's crew and keeper of the map of Treasure Island. [[spoiler:Sure enough, his later appearance as a spirit strongly implies that he met the same tragic fate as both characters.]]

* DarkestHour: [[spoiler:In the final episode of the series, Pew enters the Hispaniola, knocking out most of the crew, killing Smollett, holds Jim at sword point, and becomes invulnerable with the AmplifierArtifact he had searched for all along. Had it not been for Jane arriving and assisting Jim, [[TheBadGuyWins Pew would have won]].]]
* ADayInTheLimelight: In Season 1's episode, "The Cave of Babel", there was a bit more focus on the crew member, Rat alongside Silver. In Season 2, Jane has a near entire episode to herself in "Reunion" while the Squire gets two for both "Forest of Darkness" and "City in the Sky" where he gets his TemporaryLoveInterest.

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler: Captain Smollett, who is supposedly killed by Pew in the final episode. Also, Long John Silver as well.]]

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the original book, Pew dies by being trampled to death by horses. Here, [[spoiler:he is killed by Jane tossing the strange artifact that gives him power to his head, killing his body and turning him into smoke before the light flashes and his remains disappear.]]

* DisneyVillainDeath: Long John Silver, into a volcano, he gets better though.
** [[spoiler:In the final episode, as Pew gains the artifact once more, Pew is pushed from the crow's nest by Jane, heading down. Although it's [[AvertedTrope averted]] in that he doesn't die right away, it takes Jane tossing the artifact to Pew's head that kills him.]]

* DragonsAreDemonic: Late in series 2, Pew summons a small dragon which later [[MakeMyMonsterGrow grows gigantic]] and swallows Jim whole. The way it's summoned can be implied through some sort of satanic ritual of a sort.
* EmptyPilesOfClothing: [[spoiler:What remains of Pew after he is struck dead and disintegrates. And this is before it and the artifact both were destroyed in a flash.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Long John to the highest degree. He has zero scruples and is merciless sadist, but has a palpable charm and wit. He was able to brown nose ''the devil himself'' to achieve his own means.
* {{Flanderization}}: Reversed for some characters. Ben Gunn went from a kooky rambling old hermit to more lucid and self preservational in later episodes. Similarly Jane started off more moody and sarcastic, but became more soft spoken and friendly.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: When aligned with Silver in Season One, Pew very easily kept the former's treacherous streak at bay with his deadly sorcery. By the time they reacquaint in Season Two, Pew actually has to sweet talk Silver into sparing his life and rejoining forces, and when old habits return between them, he instead engages in a slapstick fistfight with Silver and loses. This doesn't seem to be excused through VillainDecay since the very next episode Pew is as deadly as ever.
* FunnyAnimal
* FurryFemaleMane: Jane, who is a GreeneyedRedhead (the green eyes appear in Season 2), though all the male characters tend to wear either hats or powdered wigs. Well, aside from Ben's castaway beard. Emily, the ghost girl, also has this as well.
* HandicappedBadass: Both Silver, who uses a peg leg for leg replacement as he can still fight, and Pew who, despite being blind, can conjure up spells and [[spoiler:kill one of the main protagonists.]]

* IndustrializedEvil: Silver convinces the devil that the torments in Hell are pathetic and to allow him to institute better ones. He turns the place into a big factory where the inmates work moving lava to produce "absolutely nothing!" and builds a self-destruct switch to blackmail Satan into letting him leave.

* InexplicablyTailless: In Series 2 most of the cast except for Silver and Pew for some reason.

* KnightOfCerebus: Pew is this due to posing as an actual threat to the main cast. He even almost wins near the end had it not been for Jane's interference.
* KrakenAndLeviathan: One episode, "The Oracle" involves Jim with friends nearly being eaten alive by a witch's monstrous Kraken.

* LaughablyEvil: Arguably the one remaining redeeming aspect of Silver's is that he retains a high amount of whimsy within all his bloodthirst. He and his pirate mooks often act as {{Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain}}s.

* NoodleIncident: Dr. Livesey starts to mention a little bit of what his and Smollett's island was about [[spoiler:after Smollett ended up being KilledOffForReal at the end]] before everyone else looks stunned with horror and the Squire, putting it best, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere never wants to see another island as long as he lives]] before they finally sail for home.

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: In the first season, Silver was Pew's Dragon and completely dominated and intimidated by his magical strength. In the second season, Silver works for another cohort, with Pew having to sweet talk ''him'' into a deal. He even loses to Silver in a comedic fisticuffs in episode 25. In the second half of the final episode, however, [[spoiler:Pew kills Smollett and gains the artifact that powers him, showing that despite the effects of the previous episode, he's still dangerous!]]

* HandicappedBadass: Both Silver, who uses a peg leg for leg replacement as he can still fight, and Pew who, despite blind, can conjure up spells and [[spoiler:kill one of the main protagonists.]]

* CompositeCharacter: Here, Jim's father plays both that role and that of Billy Bones, former member of Captyain Flint's crew and keeper of the map of Treasure Island. [[spoiler:Sure enough, his later appearance as a spirit strongly implies that he met the same tragic fate as both characters.]]

* DistressBall: Done frequently with most of the main crew. Jane in particular switches erratically between being [[PositiveDiscrimination the most capable member of the team]] or being Jim's personal DamselInDistress.

* AbsenteeActor: Jane and Smollett don't appear in Season 1's "Cave of Babel" with the latter not appearing in "Pool of Prophecy". The Squire is absent in "Silver in the Island's Underworld". Also, in Season 2, besides the flashback and vision in mirror, Long John Silver does not appear in the episodes, "Consequence", "Reunion", "Emily" or "Forest of Darkness" while Jane (which was justified due to her being stranded in sea) does not appear in Season 2's "Silver in the Island's Underworld" and "Silver's Bond". Smollett and Livesey become this in the 2 episodes mentioned and between "Reunion" up to [[spoiler: the final episode "One for All".]]

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: The Monkey Men in "The Forest of Darkness".

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: In "The Oracle", when Silver and Jim with his friends get transported to an undersea kingdom, they're able to breathe in the waters due to the magic that brought and (possibly) kidnapped them to Galathea's kingdom where they would be fed to a kracken.

** The show converts Long John Silver, one of the most morally ambiguous antagonists in fiction, into a straight played ForTheEvulz villain that antagonises Jim from the very start.

* InexplicablyTailless: In Series 2 most of the cast except for Silver and Pew.

* RiddleForTheAges: The mysteries of what Treasure Island really is are not truly revealed within the series and there is no clear case on why there are things like magic or MoleMen or mer creatures.

Alongside it's FunnyAnimal premise, the show deviates greatly from the novel due to the heavy use of magical elements and a few extra cast additions (most notably Jane, a young hostage-turned-{{Mook|s}} of Silver's that joins Jim on his quest). Noted for it's high quality animation, and a rather notable voice cast (including Dawn French and Hugh Laurie).

* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: However, while there are mostly animals in the cast, the mer people, bird people, and even a pirate in the Underworld are seen to be more human/humanoid than animal-based.

* MoleMen: Featured in the episode "Antidote", where they mine coal under a mountain and grow a medicinal herb that Jim and Ben need for Jane (hence the title).
