Movie Description
Produced by Tim Burton, this slapstick sea voyage a la "Captains Courageous" is about a pampered rich kid who, due to a mix-up, ends up on rusty old bucket instead of the luxury liner he was supposed to take to Hawaii. The crew doesn't take to his superior airs and assigns him the worst chores.
Synopsis
Wealthy young snob Nathanial Mayweather, en route to his father's Hawaiian hotel, accidentally winds up on an old schooner with a group of hostile fishermen.
Once out at sea, Nathanial's mates force him to perform all the ship's most menial jobs. However, he soon finds himself in a series of fantastic adventures that eventually transform him into a man.
In addition to encountering a perilous storm that nearly destroys the ship, Nathanial and his shipmates come face to face with a beautiful six-armed dominatrix, a giant jealous husband and a walking iceberg.
