- The Boy and the Pirates by Lillie Hayward and Jerry Sackheim, directed by Bert I. Gordon (at movie theaters, USA, 13 April 1960).
Young Jimmy Warren asks a genie to send him from present-day Massachusetts to the time of Blackbeard, and the genie obliges! But now, in order to avoid becoming a genie himself, Jimmy must trick the pirate into returning to Massachusetts.
—Michael Main
