The Pirate Movie (1982) Starring Christopher Atkins, Kristy McNichol

This movie was not a big hit by any means but I really liked it, the songs are catchy and the movie itself is funny and entertaining.

Plot:
A parody/homage to Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance, The Pirate Movie is a comedy/musical utilizing both new songs and parodies from the original, as well as references to popular films of the time, including Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark. In your typical boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy fights girl with swords plot, the story revolves around Mabel, the youngest of Maj. Gen. Stanley's many daughters, and Frederic, an ex-Pirate of Penzance. They fall in love and proceed to retrieve the Stanley's fortune from the Pirates (stolen 20 years ago). The Pirate King informs Frederic that due to him being born on Feb. 29th (during a leap year), Frederic is still technically the King's apprentice. Frederic must then decide between duty and honor, the only good qualities the King taught him, and true love.

I was blessed by being gifted with an unofficial copy of The Pirate Movie on Blu-ray, but I certainly hope one day to see it get the respect it deserves with an official Blu-ray release.

I LOVE this movie.

I LOVE this movie.

Is there an HD transfer of the film in circulation? Or was your Blu-ray just an upscaled version of the Anchor Bay DVD transfer?

Oh man, I really want this one on Blu-ray!
Disney has the Fox library so might be a big part of the problem.
