 This two-DVD set was another one of my Christmas gifts, which was definitely essential since I enjoyed the movie so much in the theater! Since I've already reviewed the film itself (which was lots of fun to watch again), I'll talk about the fascinating bonus disc full of interesting material. It's certainly jam packed with fascinating segments and much longer than I expected! After watching the first 45-minute overview (which is usually the most you get), I was really surprised to see still another hour long documentary! Lots of information was really new to me, like the fact that the actors really did go upside-down for some of the "wheel fight", and I was shocked to see how close the movie was to being completely pulled since the budget was so out of hand, mainly because of the difficulty of the filming locations such as the island of Dominica, which could barely support the huge film-making effort, as well as delays and damage from hurricanes! There's a nice feature that dissects every piece of Jack Sparrow's costume that was particularly interesting since it all had to be re-created exactly for this movie (almost nothing was saved from the first movie since they didn't expect to be making a sequel!). Finally, there has to be discussion of the new animatronics in the Disneyland attraction, with some nice shots of Imagineers walking around in the ride and touching things (which always makes me shudder!). This is definitely a great presentation of a fun movie, and I'm ready for the third film!
