Continuity:
Jim sits on top of the inn, eavesdropping on Dr. Doppler and his mother. He slides off the roof to meet the turtle-like alien who crashed out on a ledge. When Jim carries the alien back to the inn from its ship, they are on a dirt road much further away.

Quotes:

[first lines]

Narrator:
On the clearest of nights, when the winds of the Etherium were calm and peaceful, the great merchant ships, with their cargos of Arcturian solar crystals, felt safe and secure. Little did they suspect that they were persued by… pirates. And the most feared of all these pirates was the notorious Captain Nathaniel Flint.

User Review

Wonderful!

Rating: 9/10


I loved T.P from the first time I saw the preview. I went to see it
with my friends and we were just dazzled by the brilliance of the
story. (sorry about my cruddy spelling)I instantly took a liking to
young Jim Hawkins and the charming John Silver, and fell in love with
the wonderful animation. It's been three years since the movie came
out, and I'm still crazy about it. I've watched it over 300 times. It
is truly wonderful and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes real honest
to god animated movies.

About the Disney's biggest flop thing, chill out people. That's no
reason not to watch the movie. It's simply a mater of opinion. If you
don't like the outer space theme, or whatever, then don't watch it.
Just don't go around discrediting it….There are fans of the movie out
there, lots of them, so just CHILL!

Hope I was at least a little helpful! -Blackbird
