From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End from 2007 and Alice in Wonderland from 1951.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a 2007 American epic fantasy swashbuckler film directed by Gore Verbinski.
The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio.
The sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) and Dead Man's Chest (2006), it is the third instalment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series.
Set a few months after Dead Man's Chest, the story follows a desperate quest to locate and rescue of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), trapped on a sea of sand in Davy Jones' Locker, and convene the Brethren Court in a war against the East India Trading Company.
In an uneasy alliance, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), and the crew of the Black Pearl rescue Jack and prepare to fight Lord Cutler Beckett, who controls Davy Jones and the Flying Dutchman.
Two sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl were conceived in 2004, with Elliott and Rossio developing a story arc that would span both films.
The film was shot in two shoots during 2005 and 2006, the former of which was released as Dead Man's Chest.
This also marks the final film of the series to be directed by Verbinski.
With a production budget of nearly US$300 million, it was, at time of production, the most expensive film ever made.
Buena Vista Pictures Distribution released At World's End in the United States on 18 May 2007, and received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances and visual effects, but criticized its plot, pacing and runtime.
It was the highest-grossing film of 2007, bringing in over $963 million.

Alice in Wonderland is a 1951 American animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and based on the Alice books by Lewis Carroll.
The 13th release of Disney's animated features, the film features the voices of Kathryn Beaumont, Ed Wynn, Richard Haydn, Sterling Holloway, Jerry Colonna, Verna Felton J. Pat O'Malley, Bill Thompson, and Heather Angel.
The film follows a young girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole to enter Wonderland, ruled by the Queen of Hearts.
Along the way, she encounters an odd assortment, including the Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat.
Walt Disney first tried to adapt Alice into a feature-length animated feature film in the 1930s but were scrapped in favour of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
However, the idea was eventually revived in the 1940s.
The film was originally intended to be a live action/animated film, but Disney decided it would be the fully animated feature film.
During its production, many sequences adapted from Carroll's books were later omitted, such as Jabberwocky, White Knight, the Duchess, and Mock Turtle.
When it premiered in London on 26 July 1951, and in New York City on 28 July 1951, Alice in Wonderland was considered a disappointment on its initial release, therefore was shown on television as one of the first episodes of Disneyland.
Its 1974 re-release in theatres proved to be much more successful, leading to subsequent re-releases, merchandising and home video releases.
Although the film received generally negative critical reviews on its initial release, it has been more positively reviewed over the years.
A CGI-animated reboot series, Alice's Wonderland Bakery, premiered on February 9, 2022.
Directed by: Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske.
