This pirate has searched 30 years for that treasure, only to find out too late that it was cursed to transform anyone that seeks it into a Macaw.

And before anyone ask, NO, this was not inspired by The Pirates Fate. A game which I absolutely adore by the way.

It was actually inspired by an old movie from my childhood called The Real Macaw.
More specifically, the opening music sequence called a treasure in you.

Here is the opening sequence. I absolutely love the song.

Let me know if you've ever seen this movie. It was a strange yet big part of my childhood. I wish I had it on DVD.
