Trivia
After having read the novel, The Pirate's Passage, Donald Sutherland called author William Gilkerson in Nova Scotia about buying the movie rights, saying: "I would like to buy this. Please. This is where I'm from. This is where my heart is. Let me do it."

Goofs
A ship's flag waves in the direction the ship is moving. The reason for this is because the wind that fills the sails pushing the ship forward also pushes the flag in the same direction.

Quotes
Captain Charles Johnson: [Roy Moehner is about to get busted with his illegal contraband goods] You thought you could dismast us, didn't you, Mr. Gentleman?
Roy Moehner: [Apparently not understanding the Captain's comment] I have *no* idea what you're talking about. Now, get out of my way.
Captain Charles Johnson: [Grabbing Roy by the shirt] Are you goin' swimmin'?
Roy Moehner: [Still confused] What the *Hell*?
Captain Charles Johnson: [Shoves Roy away from the Warehouse] We just blew your ship out of the water, mister, and you didn't even know it, yet, did ya? Well, you're about to find out!

Pleasant production of history and fantasy

I missed the first few minutes of this animated production and focused in when I heard Donald Sutherland's voice, as I try to watch anything he has participated in. I found myself easily drawn into a simple story with some clever ideas. As the movie progressed, I felt it would have been wonderful to have my grandson watching with us.

The story felt like a Hanna-Barbera movie, but the animation is a totally different style. A young Nova Scotia boy is helped by a ghost pirate to discover about local history, and how to deal with a school bully. His home is a small mansion/inn run by his widowed mother, whose mortgage holder also covets the site for his own plans. Our young boy discovers there are bullies outside of school-yards as well.

Parts of the story unfold in a predictable fashion -- which is desirable in a movie like this. Still there are enough changes and creative areas for all ages to enjoy. You may even learn a thing or two about pirates of the Atlantic.
