Builds close bond.
Has a good opportunity to actually kill him (especially when the truth is revealed) but hesitates to do so.
Ends up choosing him over the treasure
Escapes the law at end, but gives heartfelt goodbye and treasure he snagged to he can rebuild his families business
Honestly, I feel like this was the golden age of Disney animated films. Movies like this, and others like "Lilo and Stitch" really oozed love and care for the art and animation.
He is the bad guy....at first! he sticks close to Jim to make sure he doesn't mess with his plans. What ends up happening is that they forge a real father-son relationship they both needed.
This is my favorite version of the Treasure Island story. The growth between Jim and Silver feels natural. Silver is a Villain, but a redeemable villain, he has qualities in him that let him become a better man.
Muting this!
Love this movie and its message.
It shows us too how both sides, Jim and Silver, change and grow for the better as individuals throughout the film.
I got nothing else to say! Uhhh follow me or not: I like collecting bots and I also be making #art so yeah!
You have to be courageous to suck at something for a while, and the longer you suck at it, the better you'll be when you're great at it. You just have to stick to it.
I wanna say both. It's been a while since I last read the book, but if memory serves, Silver has more of a "I'll keep you alive if you help me out later" thing with Jim.
i believe your right, the film goes in on the "Silver becoming and accepting the role of a father figure" whereas in the book it was more one-sided where Jim simply saw Silver as one, despite it not being entirely mutual if at all
people can change for the better. He had bad intention and was powered by greed but it became harder as they got closer and true intentions revealed. He had a clear shot at one point to shoot Jim but couldn’t bring himself to do it, he even chose to save Jim when he could’ve chosen the treasure
He’s a bit more complex than most run of the mill Disney villains. He’s not a saint and with the life he lived there’s no telling what he’s done but the relationship and father figure role he became for Jim really impacted him when he had clear opportunity to kill the kid throughout the film
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on, and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me but I'm still here

Just bringing some positivity to those who need it :)
Maybe one day I'll show up super confident and considered one of the crew...
just the sense of relief and release from the kind words lifted us both up
Funny how the idea of Jim & Silver building a father-son bond is a relatively new element.
this is the only time he calls him by his given name
