Rind, really?

Are you sure that the name "Rind Island" is correct? In the map, this island is called Millsweet Island (yes, that's the same island, I'm 100% sure), so I'm not really sure which one is a mistake. Was this island called "Rind" in anime? --Maxim 16:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

The only thing about that is that in the show they say that the island is too tiny to be noticed usually and they have to pull out a special map in the guidebook (which is shown). The island on the bundled DVD map is of considerable size. So how are you 100% sure it's the same one? It's totally possible, yeah, especially given all the mistakes the animators made when it comes to the Orange Islands (there's actually a separate map they made just for the movie that looks completely different) but I just wanted to make sure how you knew. --Greengiant 08:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I've gotten a clear and full screen shot of the map from the anime. Any ties of Rind island to Millsweet on the movie package map are speculative at very best. It does not seem to match up to the map at all, no matter which angle you rotate it - especially when you compare the surrounding islands. Unless we can get a definitive third source confirmation, there's no reasonable cause to believe Millsweet is Rind. Here's the screenshot: [1] And yes, that's all of the map that gets shown on screen. There's a reasonable enough chance that this island is not marked on the map, and that Millsweet, like Fairchild, was unexplored in the anime. Platinum 23:48, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
