DID YOU KNOW that its a possibility the Pirates of the Caribbean Movies might have been inadvertently inspired by the 1952 Classic "The Crimson Pirate"?!
At one time it was rumoured that Walt Disney took inspiration for the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World from the Crimson Pirate.
If Walt hadn't liked the Movie, there would have been no ride, and in turn no Pirates of the Caribbean Movie!
Which would mean there would be no Captain Jack Sparrow - UNTHINKABLE!
I've been thinking about what to build for my "mini-table" again, I want it to be around 60cm x 60cm.
I've had loads of ideas, the Desert Island "Spit of Land" being the most appealing to me personally so far (as discussed in this previous post).
Another thought that appeals is the idea of a Treasure Cavern like seen at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean "Curse of the Black Pearl" - complete with Treasure Piles, Rock Pools, and a surrounding backdrop for the cavern walls!
This weeks 'Pirate Music of the Week!' is "He's a Pirate" by Hans Zimmer, from Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl.
Don't forget to check back next Wednesday for another Piratey Blast of Music!
You will find each weeks Selection at the top of the column on the right!
