Captain Smollett appears in the 1965 anime adaptation "New Treasure Island," which reimagines Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" with animal characters. Depicted as a pig, his disciplined nature reflects the original novel as he maintains strict order aboard the ship and remains wary of the crew's trustworthiness. When the pirates, led by the wolf Long John Silver, reveal their mutinous intentions, Smollett orchestrates the defense. He sends the pirates ashore under false pretenses, seizes control of the ship, and later barricades himself with loyal crew members Dr. Livesey (a stag) and Squire Trelawney (another pig) in a fort on the island. During negotiations with Silver, Smollett's uncompromising stance escalates tensions into armed conflict. The anime amplifies the characters' animalistic traits under stress; as the story progresses, Smollett and others gradually shed their civilized behaviors, particularly during the climactic volcanic eruption. This event forces all characters, including Smollett, into a primal struggle for survival where they shed clothing and adopt feral movements, emphasizing the theme of civilization's fragility. Smollett's leadership persists through this crisis, though his role becomes part of the collective fight for survival rather than individual command.
