Cutthroat Island is a tongue-in-cheek pirate swashbuckler, focusing on the daring lady pirate Morgan Adams and her quest to recover the map pieces leading to the titular island. Jim Henson's Creature Shop supplied animatronic animals, primarily substituting for real animals in stunt scenes, such as an animatronic snake that's cut in half.
