In the Disney animated movie "Treasure Planet" (2002, Ron Clements and John Musker, details here), a fantasy sci-fi adaptation of the famous novel "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, the crew rebels and hoists a jolly roger, but apparently, in keeping with the pirates-in-space theme, this famous flag has been redesigned. Now the skull is no longer human, presenting three menacing eyeballs, not to mention two enormous fangs. The two crossed bones have also been replaced by two hollow ellipses, probably representing either planetary or atomic orbits.
