For decades, Disney has tried to find a way to turn its theme park rides into feature film franchises of their own. The one time this strategy really worked was when director Gore Verbinski and screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio took a beloved Disneyland ride and turned it into Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. The film was such a massive success that it spawned four sequels. Even the Pirates of the Caribbean theme park rides have since been changed to bring them closer in line with the films that were inspired by them.
The quality of the sequels went in a downward direction, but that doesn’t diminish how incredible the first film was. And if you need more convincing, these are the reasons why you should stream Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl this month.
