Product Description
A college track coach buys an antique bed warmer and inherits the mischievous ghost of famed pirate blackbeard who is cursed to wander in limbo until he performs a good deed. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 08/05/2003 Starring: Peter Ustinov Rating: G
Amazon.com
In the moody prologue, amid a raging storm that evokes Hollywood golden-age high-seas swashbucklers, a foreboding scroll recounts the legend of one of the bloodiest pirates in the history of the Caribbean. Leave it to Disney to turn him into a fun-loving old prankster with a whimsical side. Peter Ustinov mugs shamelessly as the bombastic but harmless apparition who renounces his wicked ways to become the mischievous school spirit of the local college, much to the annoyance of straight-arrow track coach Dean Jones. Made in the heyday of Disney's live-action family comedies, Blackbeard's Ghost is all haphazard but high-energy slapstick and squeaky-clean romance (courtesy of contemporary schoolmarm Suzanne Pleshette) performed with more gumption than grace, but there's a nostalgic innocence to the whole overplayed affair. --Sean Axmaker

 Great fun December 22, 2008

I have read other reviews complaining about the quality and sound on this dvd. We have experienced no problems in that regard on the DVD we have received. The sound and quality is fine.
This classic movie is funny. My children have laughed and laughed at it. There are no bad words, no iffy scenes, nothing that would get me to turn off this movie and not allow my children to watch it.
Fair warning though, the pirate Blackbeard does like his drink.
This is just one of the old Disney classics that is a lot of fun to watch. Enjoy
 Great movie! November 24, 2008

I enjoyed this movie, as it is Disney in its golden era (60's and 70's). Ustinov as Blackbeard was a bit over-the-top in his acting, but Dean Jones and Suzanne Pleshette were wonderful, as always. I would recommend this film for the kids of today; they just don't make 'em like this anymore.
a great twist into the "life" of a ruthless pirate January 27, 2008

This has been one of my favorite movies since I was a small child. My husband is a huge pirate finatic and Edward Teach "Blackbeard" is one of his favorites. When I first showed him this movie he loved this Disney twist on one of the most greusom pirates ever to sail the Spanish maine. Without stripping any of his authorotative persona Disney found a kid friendly (young or old) way to portray one of my favorite "villans" of all time.
