User blog comment:Captain Dashing/Missing Jack Sparrow? Here are some Things that can Help/@comment-4898132-20120129133930

Now I feel like a youngster! Aside from Treasure Island and possibly Swiss Family, I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of those pirate movies.

TBH, the closest I got to piracy before POTC came into me life was
 * 1) Peter Pan - several versions, really: Disney's version, the film Hook, and the 2003 film.
 * 2) Muppet Treasure Island - Come on, who doesn't like the Muppets lol xD

I may or may not have seen Cutthroat Island before watching POTC...I can't really remember. I do know I watched it long before OST was filming because I tried to imagine what Jack's carriage chase would be like through the carriage chase from Cutthroat Island, and enjoyed it much. :)
