When Longfinger and Rosy pose as a shipwrecked couple in order to gain access into
King Rufus' castle, Pinky sneaks in with them. Together they enjoy the hospitality of
the eccentric King Rufus whose only goal in life is to have fun, but his brother, Prince
Badal, lacks a sense of humour. Later that night Pinky’s big moment comes: he abseils
down the walls of the heavily guarded castle, lets the pirates in through a back door,
and opens the treasure chamber which is full of magnificent gold and jewels. But just
as Captain Sabertooth finally recognises that one day Pinky will become an excellent
pirate, they are arrested by Prince Badal, and Pinky is charged with being a traitor.
Original Title: ...................... Kaptein Sabeltann og skatten i Lama Rama
But Pinky is far from beaten. Together with Raven he frees the pirates from the dungeon and uncovers the conspiracy between Bjorn and deceitful Prince Badal, who has
kidnapped his own brother in order to steal the throne. In a magnificent swordfight
Bjorn and his pirates are defeated. Grateful, King Rufus grants Pinky a reward - the
choice of any item from within the treasure chamber. When Pinky chooses the King's
Pearl, the King allows him to have it, but only under the condition that Pinky does
not open it until he gets home.
Length: .............................. Approx. 96 min
Sure enough, when the pirates return home they are in for a surprise, but Captain
Sabertooth does not let the King’s prank spoil the triumphant homecoming party.
Despite having fulfilled one of his dreams by undoubtedly earning himself a place in
Captain Sabertooth’s crew, Pinky has more than treasure on his mind - he still wants
to find out the truth about his long lost father …

the terror of the oceans, ruler of the night, known to everyone
as “The King of the Seven Seas”. He only has one passion, one
goal in life: The quest for GOLD! Pinky is a young boy who only
knows one world and one law, that of Captain Sabertooth.
On board the notorious
Captain Sabertooth’s pirate
ship, 11-year old Pinky and his
loyal friend Raven set out on
a thrilling quest to find King
Rufus’ fabled treasure in the
exotic kingdom of Lama Rama.
Pinky fights against rival
pirates and an evil prince
in order to secure his place
in the pirate crew. However,
Pinky has more than treasures
on his mind - he wants to find

!
Ever since he was the sole survivor of a shipwreck, Pinky has
been driven by two desires. The first, to find out if his father is
still alive, and the second, to become a pirate himself by joining the crew of the notorious Captain Sabertooth. Now Pinky
is 11 years old and has the chance of his lifetime. A new deckhand is needed on The Dark Lady, Captain Sabertooth’s magnificent ship.
On their last treasure hunt on Ape Island, the pirates found a
map showing the way to the legendary kingdom of Lama Rama
and together with it, the magnificent treasure chamber of King
Rufus.
However, while the village of Abra Harbour is celebrating Captain Sabertooth's homecoming, Pinky follows a strange sound
on a nearby fishing boat. Not only does he find a cute monkey,
but also quite suspiciously he finds swords and a pirate flag!
Before he can warn Captain Sabertooth about the disguised
“fishermen”, he is taken hostage by their leader Bjorn the Brave
and taken prisoner onboard The Dark Lady, before it sails off.
Bjorn the Brave has stolen the map to Lama Rama but needs
Pinky to explain what Captain Sabertooth is up to. Pinky will
not talk, only when he is forced to walk the plank does he finally give in and tells them what they want to know. Suddenly
though, Pinky sees that Captain Sabertooth and his crew are
following them in Bjorn’s old ship! Pinky takes heart and cuts
the sails of The Dark Lady so that the pursuers can catch up and
board the ship. Pinky is upset at not being given credit by Captain Sabertooth for having saved The Dark Lady, but Longfinger
comforts Pinky, and at least now he’s joining the pirates on a
raid to fabulous Lama Rama.
When Lama Rama finally comes into sight, The Dark Lady is
masked as a German merchant ship. Longfinger and Rosy impersonate a married couple asking for help after a shipwreck, and
Pinky sneaks along with them. King Rufus welcomes the strangers to Lama Rama and is delighted to show them around – he
even shows them the castle’s treasure chamber, filled with jewels and riches!
In the evening a conflict between the fun-loving King and his
rather dreary brother, Prince Badal, escalates. Badal accuses his
brother of acting shamefully, so Rufus banishes Badal from the
Kingdom.
In the meantime, Captain Sabertooth and his crew sneak ashore,
but Longfinger and his “family” are locked inside the heavily guarded guest quarters. Pinky’s big moment has come! He
abseils down the castle walls, steals the keys, and leads the
pirates into the treasure chamber. Finally Captain Sabertooth
recognises Pinky's efforts, saying that one day he too could
become a fully-fledged pirate!
Meanwhile, Bjorn the Brave and his men have reached Lama
Rama. They have boarded The Dark Lady and plan to ambush
Captain Sabertooth on his return with the treasure. Prince Badal
has become Bjorn's partner in crime, as he wants to steal the
throne off his brother, and so together, they kidnap the King!
Prince Badal and the guards then surprise Captain Sabertooth
and his men in the treasure chamber and put them under
arrest. Whilst the pirates are taken away to the dungeons, Pinky
escapes to the beach where he finds Raven, and together they
hide from the guards by diving into the sea. The next morning,
Pinky and Raven set sail and prepare the cannons to break down
the dungeon walls. The guards of course return fire, when suddenly Pinky finds King Rufus tied up and gagged onboard the
ship!
Pinky's attack allows Captain Sabertooth and his men to escape
from the dungeons, and they too join in the fight against the
rival pirates, but just when it seems they are going to win,
the castle guards arrive to support Bjorn the Brave. The battle appears to have been lost when Pinky and Raven appear
with their new ally, King Rufus. Badal is forced to give back
the crown and is sent to the dungeons along with Bjorn and
his crew.
Grateful for what Pinky has done, King Rufus rewards Pinky with
the choice of any item from within the treasure chamber. When
Pinky chooses the King's Pearl, the King allows him to take it,
but only under the condition that Pinky does not open it until
he returns home.
Before The Dark Lady finally sails for home, Pinky manages to
trick Bjorn into telling him what he knows about his father and,
in doing so, finds out that his father may still be alive!
On the triumphant return of the pirates to Abra Harbour, Captain Sabertooth announces that Pinky is to become his new
deck hand. Pinky then unlocks the King’s Pearl, revealing the
secrets of Lama Rama before the eyes of the expectant crew.
While Captain Sabertooth celebrates his homecoming, Pinky is
deep in thought and vows to find his father even if he has to
travel to the world’s end …

“Smooth pirate sailing! …This is a film tall and small children will want to see again and again.”
(Film review by Filip Roshauw, Dagbladet, 24.09.2014)
“This year’s local focus for Disney. A strong story, great scenes and adventurous humour
and action make this a great movie for the entire family.”
(Inger Warendorph, The Walt Disney Company Nordic)
“More than 100,000 tickets sold at the opening weekend in Norway– we had

The Concept
Stories of cruel pirates in search of great treasures have captivated
audiences for centuries. The success of films such as ‘Pirates of the
Caribbean’ shows that pirates are still modern, exciting and something
the audience wants to see.
‘Captain Sabertooth’ is the Scandinavian pirate concept which is
aimed at a younger audience than the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’
movies, but also plays on humour and swashbuckling action.
Captain Sabertooth has been around for 25 years in Scandinavia.
The concept has its own theme park, annual theatrical
productions, own television series, video games, books and
a full range of merchandise. Captain Sabertooth is perhaps
Scandinavia's most successful multi-platform concept for
children created by Terje Formoe.
