In the 2006 revamp of the [[Pirates of the Caribbean (attraction)|original attraction]], the island port was officially named Isla Tesoro, with the Spanish translation of Treasure Island is ''La isla del tesoro''. In making ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl]]'', ''Treasure Island'' was one of many inspirations behind making the film, noted by the filmmakers like producer [[Jerry Bruckheimer]], who regarded the 1950 Walt Disney Studio feature.<ref name="CotBPProdnotes">[https://web.archive.org/web/20110713142425/http://www.keeptothecode.com/pdf/POTCprodnotes1.pdf Pirates of the Caribbean production notes], accessed Dec 9, 2006</ref> It was also noted that history has a strange way of turning full circle as 53 years later, it took the very same studio's first ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' movie to reinvent and reinvigorate a moribund genre which delighted millions.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/pirates/downloads/POTC2_PressKit_Final.pdf |title=POTC2 PressKit |access-date=2 September 2006 |archive-date=2 September 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060902043515/http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/pirates/downloads/POTC2_PressKit_Final.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> One thing screenwriters [[Ted Elliott (screenwriter)|Ted Elliott]] and [[Terry Rossio]] took from their experience on ''[[Treasure Planet]]'', was the simple premise of, "Is Long John Silver a delightful [[John Falstaff|Falstaffian]] character or a contemptible villain?"
