Wiki.
Treasure Island (Russian: Остров Сокровищ, romanized: Ostrov Sokrovishch) is a Soviet two-part live-action/animated adventure comedy television film adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island (1883). It was created by order of the USSR's state television company by the studio Kievnauchfilm. It is mostly traditional animation with some live action sequences, which are largely but not entirely separate.
The first part, Captain Flint's Map, aired in 1986; the second, Captain Flint's Treasure, aired in 1988. After that, they were always shown together. The film won the Grand Prize in Minsk, 1987, the Grand Prize in Kyiv, 1989, and the 1st Prize in International Cinema Festival of Television films in Czechoslovakia.
A recut American version called The Return to Treasure Island was released direct-to-video in 1992. The live action sections were removed, and it is 34 minutes shorter than the Soviet version. It features the voices of Jan Rabson and Steve Bulen.
