Pirates of the Caribbean is a multi-million dollar Walt Disney franchise encompassing a theme park ride, a series of films and spinoff novels as well as numerous video games and other publications. As of August 2006, Pirates of the Caribbean attractions can be found at four Disney theme parks and their related films have grossed more than US$2.7 billion.
Pirates of the Caribbean was “crazy horsed” in the early 1950s as a walk-through wax museum at Disneyland that would have featured depictions of real pirates in static scenes . Instead, Disney Imagineers utilized the technological breakthroughs achieved in the company’s four pavilions at the 1964–65 World’s Fair to transform the attraction into a boat ride through environments filled with fictional Audio-Animatronic pirates sacking a Caribbean seaport. Its theme song, “Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me)”, sets a light-hearted tone for characters who were violent in reality.
The last Disney theme park attraction designed with input from Walt Disney, it opened in its original form in New Orleans Square at Disneyland on March 18, 1967. Since then, it has been replicated in different forms at three subsequent Disney theme parks—Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort (December 15, 1973), Tokyo Disneyland (April 15, 1983) and Disneyland Paris (April 12, 1992).
