Dr. Livesey (Treasure Island, 1988)

He is voiced by Soviet actor Evgeniy Papernyy [ru] in Russian[1] and Steve Bulen in the English dub.

His primarily role throughout the film is diagnosing the other character's health conditions as well as assisting Jim Hawkins and Squire Trelawney in their hunt for Captain Flint's Treasure.

[2][3][4] According to Russia Beyond, Dr. Livesey is presented in the cartoon as a "really funny guy" as he's always shown to laugh, even while examining his patients with a wide grin (regardless of their health condition).

Elegant and always dressed in a white wig, Dr. Livesey plays a key role in obtaining Captain Flint's treasure and helps Jim Hawkins escape from the vengeful pirates led by Long John Silver.

Trelawny jumps on this opportunity and proclaims that he will immediately start "recruiting the best crew in Britain" and otherwise organizing an expedition to find it.

Livesey drives the surviving pirates to drop dead by explaining in his usual cheerful manner the reprecussions of their constant smoking.

This image has become a meme, because it carries such a supply of major, energy and optimism that, God forbid, if it becomes a symbol of a male character.

[16] The onomatopoeia of the character's powerful laugh became an internet meme and a reference to the Soviet adaptation of Treasure Island.

Incredible Becomes Uncanny meme that debuted a few months prior grew exponentially in mid-September in sites such as MDK.

[18] In July 2022, a short excerpt from the film along the song “Why Not” by the Russian drift phonk musician Ghostface Playa was published on TikTok which was titled “Doctor Livesey walking” which subsequently went viral.

"[10] It then transitions to Jim Hawkins, Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney entering the Spyglass Inn, moving with a certain pathos.

[12] Livesey's strong physique, self-confidence and bold walk gave frequent comparisons to another meme character of the year known as the Gigachad [ru].

[10] With the energetic and cheerful nature of Dr. Livesey, some people saw an improved version of the sigma male which was someone that didn't need the approval of others.
