Ron Gilbert, creator of the first two Monkey Island games, based his concept on California Disneyland's theme park attraction, Pirates of The Caribbean.  The screenshot above, taken from Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, shows Guybrush Threepwood captive in the Phatt Island jail.  Notice the key in the dog's mouth - a dog I don't think by coincidence is named Walt.  Anyway, this is the same scene as depicted in Pirates of the Caribbean ride where jailed pirates try to get the jail key from a dog's mouth.

This page is under construction.  Until completed please enjoy the music from the ride and check out one of the interesting web pages below.
