In the note
Pirates of the Caribbean burst onto the scene with the definition of movie magic, and when an alchemy of seasoned and creative talent taking some really big creative risks (including a breakout performance by Johnny Depp that if you believe the lore, Disney tried to shut down when they saw the early dailies), it played and played and played.
