6. Captain The Fastest Ship In The Caribbean Pirates Of The Caribbean
An alcoholic and androgynous criminal anti-hero is not your archetypal Disney protagonist. However, cast Johnny Depp in the role and you've got a quirky and lovable rogue who stumbles through a quartet of films without ever really stopping to let the hangover kick in. Jack Sparrow's back story leads us to believe that, before double-crossed by the mutinous Barbossa, the pirate had a successful number of years as captain of the Black Peal - fastest ship in the Caribbean and notorious for flying under the black flag. However, given his penchant for drinking I find it hard to believe he did this sober. Maybe he gets away with it because the crew he's captaining are every bit as incapacitated as he is. Nevertheless, he builds his reputation as one of the greatest pirates in the Caribbean (or worst if you're Norrington) and shows you don't always have to have your wits about you to be witty.
