## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Disney's first completely live-action feature goes full high-seas. A lad, a doctor, and a squire set sail to find buried pirate loot. Turns out, the ship is full of mutinous buccaneers, so the treasure hunt might have to wait. It's good, clean fun, if you like your adventure stories scrubbed clean.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful, uplifting
