I remember it was one of only a very few movies that all my siblings (brothers included) loved and laughed at repeatedly!

We still talk about it. Hung a huge skull and crossbones flag out of upstairs window instead of the usual balloon, lots of chocolate coin hunting and pin the tail on the parrot, blindfold plank walking and a treasure chest cake. Could have done with a sword amnesty on the door as lots of near misses with eyes obscured by patches or bandanas.<br /><br />Hope they have a rum old time and don't mutiny.<br /><br />(P.S.
