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). Created by the studio Kievnauchfilm in-between 1986 and 1988, the film features mostly traditional animation with some related live action sequences.
The first part, Captain Flint's Map, aired in 1986; the second, Captain Flint's Treasure, aired in 1988. Subsequent airings would combine them into one program. 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.
It was released in the United States as The Return to Treasure Island, direct-to-video in-between 1989 and 1992. The live-action sections were removed, resulting in a version 34 minutes shorter than the original cut. It features the voices of Jan Rabson and Steve Bulen.
