This 1987 Soviet Ukrainian adaptation blends live-action and animated styles. It stands out by mocking the colonial-era hierarchies often found in Western adventure stories through a lens of violent farce. The production offers a culturally distinct viewpoint that questions Western dominance. By placing Stevenson's work within a Soviet ideological framework, it shifts the focus from personal wealth to situational morality and humorous chaos. However, the film does not include modern markers of diversity. While it uses humor to challenge traditional masculine stereotypes, it still upholds traditional gender hierarchies and lacks explicit LGBTQ+ identities or diverse racial ensembles.
