"Treasure Island (1988 film) Treasure Island (, ""Ostrov sokrovishch"") is a 1988 Soviet animated film in two parts based on the novel with the same name by Robert Louis Stevenson. While the film combines traditional animation and live action, it does it in a very different way than the American film ""Who Framed Roger Rabbit"" (which was also filmed in 1988), by predominantly incorporating live action sequences as episodes into the movie, as opposed to having a relatively seamless filmed picture with a number of hand-drawn characters added into it.

Other releases of the period included ""Alice in Wonderland"" (1951) and ""Peter Pan"" (1953), both in production before the war began, and Disney's first all-live action feature, ""Treasure Island"" (1950).

For ""Treasure Island"" (1950), Walt seriously considered three animated sections, each one of the Reynard tales, to be told by Long John Silver to Jim Hawkins as moral fables.
