Page 7 of 7
THE THREE JACKS
Anti-heroes. Rebels. Reluctant heroes. Call them what you will ... we'll just call them "Jack".
JACK KELLY
This would be "cowboy" just wants to make it to the Wild West and find his own fortune. It takes a newsboy strike (and a bit of advice from the President of the United States) for him to realize that all he ever needs is right in front of him.
JACK SKELLINGTON
Awash with ennui, this skeletal fellow yearns for something new in his (after) life. When he discovers the wonders of Christmas, he blindly usurps the holiday with ghoulish delight. When he realizes the error of his ways, can he fix it in time?
JACK SPARROW
A boozy, sun-stroked pirate legend (in his own mind), Captain Jack looks out only for Captain Jack at all times. Nevertheless, he constantly finds himself doing the right thing. Despite all his posturing protestations, we still think he's okay with that - if the price is right, of course.
