Just a Thought....

...prompted by someone on my friends list commenting that in her current mood, seeing Pirates 3 would not be a good idea, what with people getting killed or cursed to sail the Flying Dutchman's ship forever despite it being a Disney movie.

Could be worse. Let's hope the Turner family don't appear in Pirates IV, if it gets made.

Why? It's a DISNEY FILM. And what do we know about families in Disney films?

That's right--Elizabeth is a DEAD WOMAN WALKING. She'll expire abruptly be dead before she hits the ground, leaving Will to raise their child alone in classic Disney fashion.

ETA: So, in this vein let's consider the Pirates films, shall we?

Will Turner: first seen as a young child, the sole survivor of a shipwreck. Later we learn that his father is still alive. His mother? Not so much.

Elizabeth Swann: traveling to America with her father. No mother evident; we can safely assume she's deceased. Standard Disney family situation.

Jack Sparrow: POTC 3 demonstrates that his mother, too, is deceased. (Or at least, let's HOPE she's deceased....), though Jack being an adult at this point, the matter is largely moot.

There's even a dog. You can't have a Disney family movie without a dog.
