Captain Yellowbelly the Tale of the Terrible Pirate - Preston Rutt

VeggieTales Get the Pirate Treatment

Advantages: Bright colourful animation. Good message for kids. As cheap to buy as to rent.
Disadvantages: Suffers from an identity crisis. There are better films with broadly similar themes.

a good effort of it despite the obvious handicap of having no hands. The good guys are defeated, and peg-leg Captain Robert the Terrible, the hero of the piece, takes his nephew Prince Alexander hostage. The ship is searched for Princess Eloise, but she evades capture, sending a ?helpseeker? (a round golden robotic sort of thing) to go find some heroes to effect a rescue. Back in the present, we are introduced to our three ?heroes?. George, a grape who is a consummate fence-sitter who can?t stand up for himself, Sedgewick, an indeterminate vegetable who is extremely lazy, and Elliot, a cucumber, that is scared of anything and everything that moves. The three of them work in a dinner theatre, and thinking that they can get a part in the show, they audition as pirates. After wreaking a considerable amount of havoc, they are chucked out, at which ...

Captain Scurvy's Most Dastardley Pop Up Pirate Ship

Advantages: Sturdy, vibrant, no mess and very enjoyable.
Disadvantages: Take up alot of floor or table space.

Whilst shopping for something to keep our grandson entertained at our daughters wedding I came across the book, Commander Nova?s Pop Up Alien Space Station by Nick Denchfield & Steve Cox, in John Lewis. (Read previous review on this book). At the side of this book was Captain Scurvy?s Most Dastardly Pop Up Pirate Ship, by the same two authors, Nick Denchfield and Steve Cox. I was torn between both of the books, not knowing which one to purchase. My mind was made up by the fact that Captain Scurvy?s Most Dastardly Pop Up Pirate Ship, had been manhandled in the store and some of the pages rather dog-eared, and it was the only one of it?s kind left on the shelf, so I purchased Commander Nova?s Pop Up Alien Space Station, plus the fact that both books where priced at £14-99, rather extravagant to buy the two. A few days later I went ...

Review of Captain Scurvy's Most Dastardly Pop-Up Pirate Ship - Steve Cox

Aye aye captain

Advantages: good well made toy
Disadvantages: none

Oh Aye Me Hearties This Is A New Playmobil Pirate His Number Is 2493. Ohh he's a handsome rugged chap with a stubble beard and his eye patch. You can make him swagger around in his black cocked hat with the skull and cross bone emblem on it. He is wearing a red jacket trimmed with gold and white trousers. This captain won't get lost at sea he comes with his own map a compass and a ships log book. He has also brought his own table with him and a candlestick. So he can see to plot his route I guess. This pirate can move his arms and legs his hands like other playmobil people will hold his and other playmobil tools well. My grandson the lucky sausage got this for Christmas. This captain has yet to join the other pirates on his pirate ship after he brandished his sword and looked at the map he was put back in the box so that he ...
