Summary: Pirates are cool!
Review: I don't know why, but this movie never ceases to amuse me. The goofy pirate combined with 1960's Disney humor and Dean Jones just makes this movie so entertaining that you'll watch it over and over again. If you like classic Disney movies as much as I do, you definately need to add this one to your collection.

Summary: Cute movie, Bad DVD
Review: I enjoyed the movie. Ustinov was soo funny he made the movie for me. Of course the movie is pretty inane, but I knew that before I bought it. What I didn't know is that the DVD quality is the worst I have ever seen. The sound also had scratches and pops. The picture is faded and streaked. I like these kinds of movies, but I now look to the reviews before I buy Disney movies. For the cost I think they could restore them (and in general make them widescreen).

Review: I enjoyed this movie as a child. It is STILL a masterpiece. Sir Peter Ustinov is outstanding... Dean Jones is funny as usual. Great story... great acting... funny stuff. And, as with most Disney films of the period, it revolves around a sporting event.

Summary: Bad, Bad Pirate!
Review: I just received this disc and was waiting in excitement to see this childhood favorite again, but since ordering it and it arriving this morning I have heard the worst reviews and negative comments about the picture quality.Okay, so we're not expecting a 2-disc 5.1 sound spruced up version, but at the very least a film that's so obviously framed at either 1.66:1 or 1.85:1 should get converted at the right aspect ratio. I'd even be happy if they still used the rubbish print, as long as it was OAR. On the back packaging they don't even print the "this film has been modified to fit your screen" blurb! Fine, if they want to put out "open matte" films in fullscreen, then go ahead (we can always re-frame it on out widescreen TVs!), but put a widescreen title out in widescreen for pete's sake. It's a shame Disney have done this as every other release so far has been a prime example of how discs should be produced! The one star is only as you can't select NO STARS! I've not opened this yet, and am seriously considering sending it back. Bad. Don't buy it.

Summary: Disney classic
Review: I remember back in 1988 when my father bought our very first VCR, back then they where ridiculously expensive. But, I also remember that the very first movie I saw on that thing was Disney's "Blackbeard's Ghost". It was so funny and smart. I would watch it over and over again. A must for any family to watch together.

Summary: Rollicking good yarn
Review: I was introduced to this particular Disney film by my mother, who remembered it from years ago.
The take is simple enough. A man arrives in a seaside town, famous for its association to the infamous pirate Blackbeard, to take on his new position as track coach at the local high school. He arrives on the night of an auction being held to save an old hotel from demolition by a ruthless and greedy casino owner.
Through a series of seemingly innocent events, the track coach finds himself saddled with the ghost of the pirate Blackbeard for a companion indefinitely, and finds himself in all manner of trouble as a result.
The movie has its standard Disney 'happily ever after' ending, but it is still hilarious to watch regardless. One of the best scenes is at the track events, when Blackbeard takes it upon himself to help along the hapless track team to a 'miraculous' win.
Blackbeard's Ghost is roaring good fun and definitely worth adding to anyone's Disney collection.

Summary: IT'S ABOUT TIME!
Review: I'm so glad that Disney finally came to their senses and decided to release this treasure on DVD. In my opinion, this is one of Disney's best. Starring Peter Ustinov, Dean Jones, and Suzanne Pleshette, this movie has comedy, action, and no worry of bad language or sex. Dean Jones plays a track coach who arrives in a new town, one with many tales and mysteries. Jones arrives at a hotel owned by families of pirates who roamed the area hundreds of years ago. The families are giving an auction to save their beloved, historical home from money-grubbing gamblers who tend to turn the hotel into a casino. When Jones suddenly finds himself bidding on an auction in competition with the football coach, he unwillingly wins a bed-warmer with a story, suposedly coming from Blackbeard the pirate. He soon discovers that he got much more than he bargained for! This wholesome comedy will keep a smile on your face all the way through, Disney fan or not!
