This is the movie that started it all and is the first in the movie franchise.  This is a family-friendly and family-inspired event with a pirate theme.

Don't just come out to sit and watch the movie, but rather feel like you are part of it.  Scottie the Parrot, the Midwest's and the Caribbean's most loveable and favorite parrot, will be there, and he'll be joined by his two favorite pirates, Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner.  

So, put on your favorite pirate costume and portray one of the characters from the movie.  Scottie himself will be play-acting the role of Mr. Cotton's parrot (See below). Cotton was one Jack Sparrow's crew and the pirate who could not speak and his parrot did all the talking for him.
