John Musker and Ron Clements -- the team behind The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Hercules -- directed the film.

Animators scoured historical materials for descriptions and images of great sailing ships before creating the ship the RLS Legacy named in honor of Treasure Island author Robert Louis Stevenson.

The animators used what they called a "70/30" concept for the movie in which 70 percent of the film’s world is 18^th century and 30 percent is futuristic and fantastic.

Long John Silver is wearing striped britches when he first appears on screen, but in later scenes, he's wearing a pair of solid trousers. That's because solids are much easier to animate than stripes.
