yeah it makes sense, and ur right! most of the disney films had ruined it by adding kids, but i think pirates could work! The cridicts didnt think the first would be worth seeing because it was disney but the thing about it was that the story was more than just a happy ending, it had twist, turns, lies, romance, action...not ur average disney family film! but it could work if you had something like 40% action, 40% comedy, and 20% family and you would have a great movie! As for the kids, the only way it would work is to have a mature teenage role. Not the child who saves the day or something cheesy! just a role with depth and meaning, something that ties the story together! But the new person thing, yeah jacksbabe is right!
