A yo-ho-wholesome retread of Disney favorites.

Middling Disney a la Dean Jones and Peter Ustinov; OK family fare.

Ustinov e Jones fazem uma �tima dupla c�mica em um filme que, de forma inocente (at� mesmo bobinha), conquista pela despretens�o.

Undeniably silly and somewhat dated, Blackbeard’s Ghost remains harmless, modestly entertaining family fare.

Another stupid Disney live-action piece of inane cliches and situations.

Another great pirate themed flick, again from Disney. I love the innocent effects n look compared to today, it's lovely, spookyish, charming and Ustinov is pretty funny too. The highlight is the athletics event and I loved the big spooky looking Inn which the old ladies ran and where Blackbeard haunted.
