God almighty that little kid Francis!!!!!


I sure hope he got the crap beat out of him in school because good lord he is as annoying as he was when I watched this movie as a kid. I kept praying he that coconut bomb he lit would go off just a little sooner.

I know exactly what you're saying. I'm watching this movie for the first time right now and 20 minutes in I was seriously considering changing my stance on child abuse, at least for this kid in the movie.

He makes Jake Lloyd look like Bogart.

I think the kids voice is just seriously grating. It's the worst type of whiney high-pitched that is just so jarring, like nails on a chalkboard and it's not flattering, especially for a boy.

He was the same in PollyAnna, couldn't stand him in this. How this kid got so many roles back in the day is beyond me, with that annoying voice and awful attitude he seemed to transend through every role he played.

Shouting and whistling at the dogs when the family was trying to hide from the pirates, he should have been vigorously caned after the battle was over.
