Editorial Review:
Key animation by Hayao Miyazaki, director of Kiki's Delivery Service and Spirited Away.
Based on the classic novel "Treasure Island" by Robert L. Stevenson.
Jim and his mouse friend Gran toll away working as innkeepers. They dream of sailing far away on their own boat. One day, a mysterious fellow appears at the inn and gives them a map. It's the map to Treasure Island. So they decide to make their own boat, and sail away treasure hunting. But it's not as easy as they think when they run into a group of unsavory pirates led by the dastardly Captain Silver. Silver wants the treasure for himself. And it is up to Jim, Gran, and their new friend Kathy, to beat him to it.

Rating: - GREAT ANIME FROM THE PAST
This movie is a must for any anime fan. It highlights miyazaki's early work before he became famous for his movies(Spirited Away, Princes mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle). The DVD quality is outstanding for a movie that has not been on TV for over 20 years!!!
Rating: - Classic Japanese animated film
Fun for kids and adults of all ages, Animal Treasure Island is loosely based on the original Treasure Island novel by Robert L. Stevenson. This has never before been available on Video or DVD. Jim and Cathy are the only humans in the film, the pirates are all animals and even Jims best friend is a mouse. This interesting and particular twist on the original tale makes it stand out as an incomparable motion picture.

Rating: - Long Lost Classic
American fans of this never before released-on-video TOEI animated classic have been waiting more than THIRTY years to see this early example Hayao Miyazaki's work, even longer if they missed its occasional showings on TV, which apparently ended a generation ago. What's more, for those of us who remember Fred Ladd's well-done English dubbing that was shown on American TV so long ago, Discotek Media has wisely included it as the second audio track. The English audio is a little the worse for wear, and ... Read More
Rating:  - Early showcase for Miyazaki and still a lot of fun!
For anime and Miyazaki fans, "Animal Treasure Island" may be nothing put an interesting footnote in the animation master's career. Serving as key story consultant and animator, this early effort is nevertheless a showcase of Miyazaki-san's soon to be signature moments - especially in (of course I'm only making a conjecture here) the wonderfully staged and frantic action set pieces that make up most of this fun movie and may remind fans of similar moments in "Sherlock Hound", "Porco Rosso" and "Castle in ...
