Don't get me wrong, I love a good theme song. And I LOVE the Pirate of the Caribbean music more than I love the movies themselves. And while this piece of soundtrack has become an icon and is instantly recognizable to anyone who hears it, I would like to point out a few flaws and give you my reasoning why this song should be cut here and now.

I know that that is a leading statement. There is no one here right this minute stating "Hans Zimmer is the composer" which would then lead me to refute it above. No one is making that claim. BUT tell me this: are you surprised by that statement? Are you shocked that this obviously Zimmerian piece of music isn't actually composed by the man himself? Ahh, but in actuality he did come up with all the major themes but couldn't commit to doing the fine-tuning since he was currently working on The Last Samurai so he referred the director to Klaus Bedalt who could do the rest of the grunt work. Overall, it's bizarre that Zimmer would do all of the most iconic stuff but would have someone else take the credit.
All in all, it's a good theme. It's fun, it's got a swashbuckling feel to it, and as I said above, it's become iconic. But at the end of the day, it feels recycled, it hits one note over and over again (I'm all about those emotional roller coasters in my songs) and I think it's time has come to be cut.
My theory of why the Auction sticks around? The Redhead, while going to be auctioned, seems to be the real one in charge in that scene.
Tony PerkinsJanuary 3, 2014 at 1:24 AM Thanks for the thoughtful post. With the changes Disney has made to PotC over the past couple decades, they have soft-pedaled some of the pirates' evil deeds to become more akin to playful misbehavior (like the movies). The ride's signature song is also quite whimsical so it fits into this new paradigm of whimsy ostensbily being pushed by Disney. I suppose another simple reason the wench scene remains is it would be quite costly to redesign that entire show scene, so it could just be a matter of money and profit. If there were a true outcry, I suppose they would change it in order to avoid the bad PR, but I haven't heard of any movement calling to delete the wench scene. In any case, the addition of Jack Sparrow completely changed the main narrative thrust of the attraction. It used to be a look at those awful pirates and their degenerate lives so we should be thankful we don't join them (dead men tell no tales). But now dead men do tell tales and get the treasures as the narrator tells us as we ascend the final waterfall. Whimsical misbehavior a la Jack Sparrow has its rewards. In any case, the DL version of PotC is still a great attraction, and one of the most amazing ever created.
BradyNBradleysMomJanuary 3, 2014 at 6:46 AM This article was just excellent. I really enjoyed it. I LOVE these stories on the history of different attractions. This is why I make TPI one of my breakfast reads every morning. Nothing better than starting my day with some TPI wonderfulness! :)
Eric FisherJanuary 3, 2014 at 1:38 PM Disneyland is an amusement park. As such, when I visit the park I expect to see things I would never see in real life. Elephants flying. The Yeti. A woman being auctioned off. Would I tolerate the 3rd, in real life? No. On the other hand, I am descended from slaves, so I know this went on. The controversy over "Pirates" is a tempest in a teapot. It is fantasy, nothing more. Are we concerned that the young women on the storybook boat ride (at least used to) dress like they are in private elementary school? I hope not. We are being too sensitive here. Parents can use this as a teaching tool - and talk about how far (we would like to think) we have come from days when these practices were, at the very least, tolerated.Bob Dylan addressed this topic in a song called "Long Ago and Far Away". My favorite version is by The Brothers Four. I recommend it to you.
Herwig DelvauxJanuary 8, 2014 at 3:54 AM Thank you, absolutely bright story, Matt !
But...
Not all things are, as the wishfull thinking wants them to be to fit in a framed story about how and why changes occurred. Especially when it comes to an attempt, retracing the attraction history, one must be more carefull. It starts with registering what was. Quote:
"Now" ?
No, sorry, not true. It was "ever since" !
The original boosted BOTH pirates chasing woman (the 'logic', as "joke opener" / see video 4:53>) AND woman chasing pirates (the unprobable contrasting scene, as "joke maker" / see video 5:02>), and chicken chasing chicken (gender?? ;-) as "the supplementing cartoony offset from history").
If you trace well the-making-of, you will be able to find the discussions around this well reasoned scene composition which was meant to get a "ohh, and haha, and I-got-it" sentiment from the carefull re-visiting rider.
PoTC is the kind of elaborated attraction where re-riding is so rewarding, as to "get" details and humour only after you've seen it several times. One could say: perfect marketing in re-riding. But also just, perfect theatrical complexity, which was THE thing that made Disney, Disney... To be more precise : 'Walt' Disney, not Disney Corp. ... The far majority of recent "A ticket" Disney attractions have NO experience depth anymore, they are mental flat, singular level only, visual experiences, where the next rides after the first one don't bring on new findings.
My theory behind this, is that the new attractions have been deprived of the traditional film scenarists & animators leading roles in the development. Even if very expensive, the multi-level/depth story magic (and humour) is ... missing. This brings me to a totally different assumption why the original mental 3-level scene of the chasing-around's, was changed into a 1-level boring, after refurbishment : the actual non literary simplicity of the "imagineers'" minds. Like :
I dare to postulate, that most probably, "the 1990-ies public opinion" has nothing to do with it. But the flattening of the whole imagineering job to nothing more then a repeated technical exercise, probable has all to do with it. And harmfull descisionmaking, in brand marketing. 'Jack Sparrow' needed to have a spot, there... from a purely commercial IP-contract viewpoint. Having a "star" dropped in a standalone fantasy, is mentally destroying the fantasy, because it recalls "his acting in the film", and distracts from the original power of the attraction scenario.
Perhaps, true imagineering is almost dead, with Disney? (And still growing with Efteling, at less then 10% of comparable development budgets) Disney still builds the-best-there-is, but only on an uninspired technical level...

To date, there have been five Pirates of the Caribbean films, all based on the 1967 Disneyland theme park ride. The five films have collectively grossed over $4.5 billion in ticket sales and have been nominated for a total of 11 Oscars, winning one.
Hans Zimmer sat down with the director and other creative members of the Pirates of the Caribbean production team to discuss the musical themes and how the music should sound. Many of the main melodies have been influenced by the sound of Irish sea shantiesclosesea shantyMelody historically sung by workers on ships in 1800s. Often, the sound is improvised and feature call and response. - this is noticeable if layers of the large orchestrationcloseorchestrationThe instruments used in a composition or performance. are taken away. There are intentional ostinatoscloseostinatoA musical phrase which repeats. throughout the film score to reflect the rocking motion of the ocean.
Inside, each of the three bedrooms, two bathrooms and living spaces feature a creative, old-world nautical theme complete with wheels, maps, sails and more -- and there arrrrgh even a few pirates to be found.
Disney has revealed that a new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge will be coming to Adventureland in Magic Kingdom. While details are still sparse, Imagineers are currently in the design process for this exciting new location.
Some of the wood you'll find in the home is from old barns in Michigan. Farley distressed all the wood herself and fabricated all the bricks inside the home. The house is filled with pirate-themed accents, skulls, distressed wood and even hidden doors.
When the city of Plano banned Airbnb residence, it took a lot of investors out of the running to the buy the home. Ward told WFAA that there was definitely some interest from investors who had visions of themed boarding.
Throughout the first three movies of Pirates of the Caribbean, Poochie is seen off and on in minor (and sometimes not so minor roles), such as bringing the keys to Captain Teague during the Brethren Court's meeting and becoming "chief" of Pelegosto Island. Behind the scenes, the dog who played Poochie varied based on the movie. In The Curse of the Black Pearl Poochie was portrayed by a dog names Twister and in Dead Man's Chest and World's End he was played by another dog named Chopper. Not much is really known about Twister, but Chopper is listed as being a Terrier mix so it's most likely that Twister was as well since they both resemble each other. Regardless of what exact breed these actor dogs are, there is no doubt that the strong Terrier intelligence and independence comes through in their portrayal of Poochie.
If you don't really like the idea of calling your beloved dog something as basic as "Poochie" you could definitely opt for the names of the dog actors who played him. Both the titles of "Twister" and "Chopper" could pass as pirate names with their rugged and outdoor inspired themes. No matter what name you choose, we think it would be an awesome idea to at least train your dog to carry around keys; that way you'd always have someone to help you find them!
