      The puppet used for the captain in the icy water, or the head at least, appears to be the same head that was used for Jack in The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993).
    • Goofs
      James gets out of bed in his nightshirt, fights his aunt and falls down the stairs head first. His night shirt slips up and reveals that his stunt double is wearing white pants down to his knees. The next shot of James at the foot of the stairs shows that he's not wearing pants.

    Wonderful
    I was surprised that people thought this film was average, or so-so. I found it to me a movie that was so much fun to watch.

    Starts out live-action, than it seagues into stop-motion animation. Some of the scenes are very memorable (the pirate attack) and the voices are delightful. Not as good as Nightmare Before Christmas, but every bit as imaginative.
