When you hear the word pirate you probably imagine a treasure burying, one-eyed, lawless, ignoble, and barbaric thieves. And even though they were thieves, only one pirate (William Kidd) buried treasure. After all there booty wouldn't gain interest or do them any good underground!

Savvy?” Screen writers goals were to reveal what a pirate is like when he was bred into becoming a pirate rather than a respectable-class British man. The audience assumes that when a person communicates informally, then they are not cunning or intelligent. However, the screen writer portrayed Jack Sparrow as being intelligent and cunning through his schemes and when he is forced to improvise

Everyone has heard the stories of pirates; navigating the seas and plundering any ship in sight. But nobody has ever heard the stories of those less victorious, but equally as important pirates. Most of these stories are based around the “ordinary” pirates, like Blackbeard or Henry Morgan.

Walt Disney arrived in California in the summer of 1923 with a lot of hopes but little else. He had made a cartoon in Kansas City about a little girl in a cartoon world, called Alice’s Wonderland, and he decided that he could use it as his “pilot” film to sell a series of these “Alice Comedies” to a distributor.
