This is a great movie for the whole family. I enjoyed it as much as my two boys did (well, they didn't like the kissing.) The music and dancing and story are lots of fun.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Pirate
Parents need to know that there's not much to worry about here. Characters deceive each other. There are no role models, but there is, of course, a happy ending.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about gender roles in the 1940s. How does Serafin treat women as he sings "Nina"? Based on what Manuela knows about the legendary pirate Macoco, why is she attracted to him? Stock portrayals of certain "types" can be the center of a discussion about gender, race, and beauty. Does Manuela dread marrying Don Pedro for any reason other than his looks? How do mob mentality and public opinion factor into the characters' fates?
