Top 5 Pirate Movies for Kids
Peter Pan
Peter Pan is a longtime classic and this animated feature is probably one of the first movies that springs in your mind when you think of pirate movies for kids. The main character Peter Pan takes Wendy, John and Michael to Neverland and their magical journey is loaded with excitement. In the beginning, they arrived at a camp that’s full of kids with no adults in sight. The kids are called the Lost Boys. In Neverland, the adults are the bad guys!
The leader of the bad guys is a pirate captain known as Capt. Hook. Capt. Hook kidnaps Peter Pan’s friends and Peter Pan has no choice but to rescue them with the help of the Lost Boys. Peter Pan is one of my favorite Disney animated features of all time. It has many memorable characters including Tinkerbell and Tick-Tock the crocodile. Apart from the animated version, there’s also a live-action Peter Pan movie that was released in the early 90’s starring the late Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman. That movie is also on this top 5 list by the way. Both versions are good and suitable for kids of all ages. I prefer the animated version though.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
This seems to be everyone's favorite installment within everyone's favorite movie franchise. This movie is rated PG-13 though, due to its mildly violent content. The sword fighting scenes are a joy to watch. There are also some creepy looking skeleton creatures which may terrify small children. However, if your child is old enough (age 13 and above), he or she might want to check out this movie. It’s very entertaining and packed with fun and adventure. The main character, Jack Sparrow and his buddies set off to save a woman from her captors who happen to be imprisoned on a ship full of evil pirates. It turns out that the evil pirates have been placed under an evil spell and Jack Sparrow and his friends only have a limited amount of time to save the girl.
Treasure Island
Treasure Island is about a young boy named Jim who came across a map that contains directions to an island that’s filled with treasures. He sets sail with a makeshift crew and ship in search of the treasure. He runs into trouble when he finds out that Long John Silver has other plans in mind. There is a lot of conflict throughout this movie between the two characters and it has an ending that you are sure to enjoy.

Muppet Treasure Island
This is the Muppet’s take on the pirate genre. All of the Muppet characters are in this movie taking up different roles as various pirates. It is a great movie that kids of all ages would enjoy watching. It is a pretty clever movie and the story is appealing enough for adults to sit through for a couple hours or so.
Hook
As I’ve already mentioned earlier, there is also a live-action version of the classic animated film Peter Pan. This version is simply called Hook. In Hook, an adult Peter Pan must make his way back to Neverland and battle Capt. Hook once again. This time around, he has to go back in order to save his own kids.
That’s all boys and girls, ladies and gentleman. Hopefully you find this top 5 pirate movies for kids useful. Enjoy them all. Not interested in watching pirate genre movies? Want to read books instead? Check out this list of pirate books for kids.
