October 10, 2006The first ever PG-13 rated feature from Disney and it's enjoyable by all.

September 11, 2009Without a doubt one of Johnny Depp's best played character roles, which of course absolutely made the film.
Some clever scenes, particulary with the fighting skeletons, plus some pretty comical parts throughout. The film itself doesn?t quite make the grade for me that everyon...( read more) -
September 6, 2009Despite being rife with technical blunders such as the longest full moon in history, Disney's first non-PG film is proving to be a financial boon while at the same time collecting reviews from critics that run from tepid to red hot.
