Silver talks to his crew about the mutiny.
Silver's Pirates are the supporting antagonists in the 2002 animated film Treasure Planet. They are the loyal minions of John Silver.
Role in the film[]
Some of the members of the pirate crew are Onus (the ship's lookout), Mr. Turnbuckle (the helmsman), and Birdbrain Mary (the only apparent female of the crew). Many of the crew members' names were never mentioned in the film.
They are first seen aboard the R.L.S. Legacy acting as a sailing crew, hired by Doctor Doppler, but secretly taking orders from John Silver. Jim's suspision of the crew begins to heighten when he eavesdrops on a group of some crew members talking together (presumably about the plan for mutiny). While Jim is swabbing the deck, after his confrontation with Silver's lieutenant, Scroop, it is made clear to the audience that Silver is the real captain of the crew and not simply the ship's cook as he chastised his minions for being too antsy.
In the dangerous supernova / black hole scene of the movie, the crew is seen battering flaming asteroids with the ship's cannons and taking Captain Amelia and Mr. Arrow's orders to steer the ship away from danger.
When Treasure Planet is in their sights, the pirates and Silver mutiny their captain (costing the lives of some pirates) and search for the treasure. They find the the treasure with the unwilling help of Jim Hawkins, after he defeats Mr. Scroop on the ship. Their luck changes when Flint's booby-trap is activated and some of the alien pirates are killed. The few who survive are tied up aboard the ship. However, despite being arrested, the surviving pirates cheer as the heroes finally steered them away from the exploding planet, relieved that they are still alive.
Members[]
These include all of the 15 members of Silver's pirate crew. Some of them talk and have their names revealed in the film (although Onus, Zoff, Turnbuckle, and Scroop are the only four names to be mentioned in the film), but others are revealed on websites.
