Flying through space!

But this version's set in the future.

Old-fashioned pirate ships fly through space, and the old pirate Long John Silver is now a cyborg - part man, part machine.

And the parrot in the original has been replaced by a very cute cyborg pet called 'Morph', cos it can morph into anything and everything!

New-style film

It took 17 years from the film-makers having the idea for the concept to the film being made.

And it combined CGI digital wizardry with old-style hand drawn cartoons, which are meant to be more expressive.

I thought the adaptation and the animation worked really well.

It's perhaps not as magical as Toy Story, and it hasn't been a hit in America.

But overall I thought the film looked really good and it kept me gripped all the way through.

I would give it an eight out of ten."
