Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack's compass, which is linked to a key that's linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people's souls.

Despite what the description says, this is NOT a "NEW" collection of wild and wacky adventures. It is a collection of 8 older Disney shorts, mostly from the 40's and 50's that have a summer/vacation them to them. It's a decent collection but these eight toons hardly rank as some of Disney's all-time best. I'll only give a synopsis on what I think the best episodes are:
"No Sail" is from 1945 and features Donald and Goofy.
"Two Weeks Vacation" is from 1952 and is a Goofy short.
"Trailer Horn" is from 1950 and has one of my favorite themes where Chip and Dale annoy the heck out of Donald Duck. This time the pair keep jumping on Donald's car horn as Donald seethes in anger.
"Old Sequoia" is a Donald Short from 1945.

Although the book The Adventures of Mickey Mouse (1931) listed Donald Duck as one of Mickey's friends, he didn't appear on screen until the "Silly Symphony" "The Wise Little Hen," three years later. Donald's personality began to gel in "The Orphan's Benefit" (1934, on Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Black and White), when he threw his first temper tantrum. He began as dumpy-looking character with a long beak and thick legs, but was soon redesigned and made more appealing.
Donald's firecracker temper made him a favorite with audiences--and the Disney artists. By the late '30s/early '40s Mickey was no longer allowed to kick someone, break a window, or get into a really embarrassing situation. Donald was, and he did. If Donald encountered a mechanical device,... More Info About This DVD Director(s): Jack King DVD Release Date: Released the 18 May 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours
