In Treasure Planet, what starts as a mentorship bound by necessity slowly turns into something deeper — a connection forged in crisis, loss, and hard-won trust.
Silver isn’t perfect. He doesn’t posture or pretend. But through his flaws, guidance, and belief in Jim’s potential, he becomes an unintentional parental role model, showing Jim the strength he already had inside him.
It’s messy. It’s complicated. It’s real.
And it’s one of the greatest surrogate father arcs in animation.
