Pirates of the Caribbean is a Walt Disney Company franchise that originated with the theme park attraction of the same name opened at Disneyland in 1967, the last such attraction that Walt Disney himself oversaw the building of.{{cite web|last=Franks-Allen|first=Sara|title=10 Things You Didn't Know About Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Ride|url=http://thefw.com/things-you-didnt-know-about-disneys-pirates-of-the-caribbean-ride/|publisher=The FW|access-date=13 July 2013|archive-date=30 June 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130630091322/http://thefw.com/things-you-didnt-know-about-disneys-pirates-of-the-caribbean-ride/|url-status=live}} Although the franchise originated from ride attractions, it gained mainstream popularity in the 2000s with the release of the film series created by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, which was followed by the release of several video games attached to both the films and the franchise. The first two games, The Curse of the Black Pearl and Pirates of the Caribbean, released by TDK Mediactive and Bethesda Softworks respectively, are based on the first film in the franchise, The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). The games are set in the same universe and storyline as the film, but the former is a prequel involving Captain Jack Sparrow and the latter had no relation to the characters featured in the film.{{cite web|last=Kasavin|first=Greg|title=Pirates of the Caribbean Review|url=http://www.gamespot.com/pirates-of-the-caribbean/reviews/pirates-of-the-caribbean-review-6071238/|work=GameSpot|publisher=CBS Interactive|access-date=13 July 2013|archive-date=14 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130714203921/http://www.gamespot.com/pirates-of-the-caribbean/reviews/pirates-of-the-caribbean-review-6071238/|url-status=live}} The Legend of Jack Sparrow, released in 2006, featured several adventures of Sparrow after the events of the second film, Dead Man's Chest (2006).{{cite web|last=Davis|first=Ryan|title=Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow Review|url=http://www.gamespot.com/pirates-of-the-caribbean-the-legend-of-jack-sparr/reviews/pirates-of-the-caribbean-the-legend-of-jack-sparrow-review-6153420/|work=GameSpot|publisher=CBS Interactive|access-date=13 July 2013|archive-date=13 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130713114136/http://www.gamespot.com/pirates-of-the-caribbean-the-legend-of-jack-sparr/reviews/pirates-of-the-caribbean-the-legend-of-jack-sparrow-review-6153420/|url-status=live}}
