Fabulous Show If You're Lucky Enough to Get It! January 6, 2009
Action, adventure, comedy, gorgeous scenery, authentic-looking costumes and settings, romance, and the most beautiful musical score I ever heard in my life! "Return to Treasure Island" features all that and has the added plus of containing zero profanity. It is safe and enjoyable for all ages (well, probably too much fighting for small kids, but at least there's no gore).br /br /I taped this wonderful 10-part mini-series off the Disney Channel back in the 80s. My husband, 2 sons, and I watched it over and over again until the tapes wore out. In recent years I have repeatedly checked on Amazon to see if it was out on DVD and always came up disappointed. Nothing was available except old, used video tapes. How could something this good just disappear? Finally, to my great joy, I found it on the UK Amazon site and I was able to see my husband's face light up on Christmas morning when he opened his gift.br /br /I'm sure glad I bought this DVD set when I had the chance because I see that it's now unavailable again (didn't last long!) except in high-priced re-sale. It never showed up on the American Amazon site because it still hasn't come out in region-1 format. We are an American family currently living overseas and all the DVD players are region-free where we are. Once we move back to the States, we will have to buy a region-free DVD player in order to play these DVDs since they are in region-2 format (not US format). Well, hopefully by then, "Return to Treasure Island" will be availble in region-1 format. When/if that happens I hope they will add subtitles. I love the pirate talk (so quirky and funny), but a lot of the dialogue is hard to understand. It would also be nice to have some bonus features (background info on the making of the movie). A series this good deserves first-class treatment!
A superb drama series and DVD set August 5, 2008
John Silver's Return to Treasure Island is a superb drama series that I've grown up with. br /br /I've been eagerly waiting for this to make the transition to DVD and now that I've got my hands on a copy I'm certainly not disappointed. For me, Brian Blessed's performance as Long John Silver is an acting masterpiece. br /br /The picture quality of the DVD transfer is really the only flaw with this set. There has not been any attempt to enhance it, which when you consider that some "enhanced DVDs" can have scenes edited (and in some cases ruined due to fiddling) is probably not a bad thing. br /br /All in all, a piece of classic period drama certainly worth checking out.
Exceptional May 28, 2008

I remember this series from way back in 80s in Pakistan. I was preparing for my exams when the first episode came on air. My parents removed the antenna so I could concentrate on the studies. I still remember how I made a make shift antenna from a hanger and watched it. Fell in love with Long Kohn Silver there and then, He is the best pirate ever even better than Jack Sparrow (no offence Depp) but Brian Blessed is a class of his own. For the later episodes we used to be glued to the TV set and with a pulsating heart record it (because we were victims of loadshedding(meaning electricity). I still have some episodes on the VHS tapes. Ever since my arrival in the UK I have been on the look out for it and I am so glad it is available along with Jamaica Inn starring stunning Jane seymore. It is one of the ost nostalgic series ever. The music is beautiful and haunting. CANT wait to watch it with my kids. If one thing you need to buy is Return to treasure island. GO 4 IT
 I hope to get this series very soon May 25, 2008
Gosh, I really hope this item will be in stock soon. I was really looking forward to the release date. I have this great mini series on an old VHS tape, and have rewatched it over and over again. It's still fun, it's still exciting. Brian Blessed is marvelous as John Silver. If you like the character, get this DVD when possible.
A Childhood Epic May 20, 2008
I have been watching this movie since I was a young child. My parents taped it off the Disney Channel back in the 80s, and our whole family has been watching it ever since! Of course, the VHS tapes are now growing worn and faded, so I was ecstatic when I learned it was being released on DVD!br /I love this movie. The fighting can be a bit cheesey at times, but in the grander scheme of the whole film WHO CARES??!! I certainly don't. The story is fantastic, and the acting is MARVELOUS. Brian Blessed is awesome in this film! He is (well, his character, really) referred to often in our household. Just yesterday, in fact, my dad made reference to one of Long John's one-liners as we were sitting around the table eating dessert! Really, what a great movie! I can't say it enough. Needless to say, I have pre-ordered these DVDs and very much look forward to watching this movie yet again. Though I'm probably gonna have to buy a region-free DVD player, as I am from the USA and this DVD is coming from the UK. But it's all good, I don't mind a bit! This film is epic!
