Sum it up in a Sentence:
Treasure Island, but with anthropomorphic animal pirates and goofy cartoony nonsense.
Main Description
The bored and adventure-craving young (human) protagonist Jim and his talking mouse sidekick Glan are visited by a peg-legged cat pirate who is being pursued by a group of cloaked pig assassins. The feline promptly has them hold on to a mysterious casket as he attempts to take on his many assailants. After trying to evade the conflict unharmed, our two heroes return to the inn only to find out that the pirate is nowhere to be found. They decide to open the casket, which contains a map to the treasure of the infamous pirate Captain Flint.

An often overlooked, wonderfully animated 1971 classic that could only be described as relentlessly fun. It's really about as charming and enjoyable as a high-energy, escapist children's film could possibly get. Despite the fact that Hayao Miyazaki had a lot to do with it (serving as both one of its major key animators and "idea man"), it has very little in common with the kind of movies we've come to expect from the award-winning director. With its near Looney Tunes-esque slapstick and action scenes and tendency to disregard logic in favor of old-fashioned cartoony fun, it's the kind of movie that requires a considerable amount of suspension of disbelief to enjoy and yet succeeds flawlessly at being a memorable and infectiously fun ride with a great sense of adventure.
