New Pirates of the Caribbean 5 Synopsis Teases a New Ship for Jack Sparrow
Walt Disney Pictures has revealed an all-new synopsis for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, teasing the film’s central plot as well as the return of some fan-favorite characters. It reads as follows:
Johnny Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-new “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazer (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea – notably Jack. Jack’s only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Benton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifull small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has never faced. “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” also stars Kevin R. McNally as Joshamee Gibbs, Golshifteh Farahani as the sea-witch Shansa, David Wenham as Scarfield, Stephen Graham as Scrum, and Geoffrey Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa.
Cheers to magical adventures in 2017. http://pic.twitter.com/MjjSe9WCg2

Disney Vault
Each week we highlight an underappreciated Disney classic! This week we’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of Hayao Miyazaki’s 1997 animated masterpiece Princess Mononoke (“Mononoke-hime”), which was produced by Japan’s Studio Ghibli but English dubbed and distributed in the US by Disney. The story of a young prince who meets a warrior girl and gets involved in a primal battle between ancient forest gods and industrialists was at the time the highest-grossing movie in Japanese cinematic history, and was a major influence on the look and themes of James Cameron’s Avatar. It was also a watershed film for Miyazaki, as the Disney dub (translated by Neil Gaiman!) played a big role in popularizing the master animator’s prior and subsequent films in the States.
In honor of both its 20th anniversary and Miyazaki’s 76th birthday, GKids is re-releasing Princess Mononoke to U.S. cinemas in English-dub form on Monday, January 9 at 7:00pm. The celebration will include the never-before-released music video directed by Hayao Miyazaki titled “On Your Mark.” You can go to this link to purchase tickets through Fathom Events!
