He might try to hide it behind sneers and bluster, but in his own way he actually does care about Pinky. It's perfectly illustrated by the end of the movie, when Pinky has opted to stay at Luna Bay instead of rejoining the pirates: Captain Sabertooth has a whistful moment when he looks at the boy's empty bunk... and then he turns around, all evil smiles and boastful enthusiasm, and orders his crew to get a move on because they're off to hunt for gold!

He might try to hide it behind sneers and bluster, but in his own way he actually does care about Pinky. It's perfectly illustrated by the end of the movie, when Pinky has opted to stay at Luna Bay instead of rejoining the pirates: Captain Sabertooth has a whistful moment when he looks at the boy's empty bunk... and then he turns around, all evil smiles and boastful enthusiasm, and orders his crew to get a move on because they're off to hunt for gold!

''Captain Sabertooth'' is the self-declared "King of the Sea," a ruthless pirate captain who's always hunting for gold and riches, with his ship, ''The Dark Lady'', and with the help of a... less than impressive crew. First mate Longfinger is competent and intelligent, but the rest of the crew includes the lazy slacker Benjamin and the bumbling twins Wally and Wimp -- and let's not even mention Tully, the most incompetent ship's cook on the seven seas.
The stories of the pirates' escapades were first seen in a series of [[Theatre/CaptainSabertooth outdoors stage plays at Kristiansand Zoo and Amusement Park,]] but over the years he's branched out to star in books, comics, [[Series/CaptainSabertooth TV shows]] and [[Film/CaptainSabertooth movies]].
In 2003, the first full-length animated movie in the franchise was released, based on the stage plays but adding several new characters and twists. It was simply titled ''Captain Sabertooth,'' though the English dub for some inexplicable reason got the title ''Captain Sabertooth: The Next Adventure.''
The movie tells of the orphaned boy Pinky ("Tiny" in the original English translation), who was found by Captain Sabertooth's crew as a baby and ever since has been in their semi-competent care. All his life he's worked as a galley boy whose main task is to peel potatoes and throw away the garbage, but he dreams of one day impressing Captain Sabertooth and be acknowledged as a proper member of the crew. He gets his chance to prove himself when the pirates set out to find the treasure of Gory Gabriel, the previous pirate king, and their search leads them to the idyllic Luna Bay.
Pinky, being young and inconspicuous and not looking like a pirate at all, is sent to scout ahead and try to find out about where the treasure is... but when he meets Veronica, a girl his own age, and starts to get to know the friendly people of Luna Bay, he starts having second thoughts about this entire "pirate" business.
The problem is that Captain Sabertooth, when out for gold, isn't willing to listen to any kind of soft-hearted sob stories about decent kind people who need their treasure themselves. Another problem is that the new ship's cook, Happy Jack, is planning a mutiny and is even ''less'' inclined to give anyone a break.
In 2019, sixteen years after the first movie (and after the [[Film/CaptainSabertooth live-action movie from 2014]] failed to get a sequel), another animated movie was released, this time in CGI. ''Captain Sabertooth and the Magic Diamond'' is based on the stage play ''Captain Sabertooth and the Hunt for the Magic Diamond,'' and takes place a fairly short time after the events of the first movie. Pinky now lives in Luna Bay with Veronica and Aunt Bessie, and is quite happy as a landlubber -- though Veronica is starting to get bored with her peaceful life and wishes something exciting would happen.
Out on the sea, Captain Sabertooth and his crew are hunting for a legendary magic diamond, which can grant one wish to whoever is holding it -- but only when the light of the full moon shines on it. The magic diamond has just fallen into the possession of the evil vampire Maga Khan, who is just waiting for the full moon so that he can wish to become immune to sunlight and be free to conquer the world. Before that can happen, though, the diamond is stolen by a starving young boy named Marco, who looks a ''lot'' like Pinky.
Maga Khan searches, rumors fly, and soon enough Captain Sabertooth hears the rumors that ''Pinky'' is the one who has the magic diamond, or at least knows where it is. So of course the pirates return to Luna Bay to get Pinky so he can lead them to the diamond, and don't believe him when he tries to tell them he has no idea what they're talking about. As he's taken prisoner on board the Dark Lady, Veronica dresses up as a boy and joins Captain Sabertooth's crew in the hope of freeing him... and soon they're both swept up in the hunt for the magic diamond.
----
!!Tropes shared by the movies:
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Wally and Wimp are completely identical in looks and clothing. The only way to tell them apart is their voices... and that Wally is always the one bossing Wimp around.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: It's pretty clear that there's sixteen years between the movies, sixteen years where the characters have been further developed in other media and other alternate takes, because some of them have notably different characterizations in the second movie compared to the first. Most notable is Benjamin, who is mostly an anonymous crewmember in the first movie, but in the second has been fully formed into the [[LazyBum laid-back]], [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]] slacker that he'd become in the stage plays, but it's also pretty clear in Captain Sabertooth himself; he's become far less childish and petty even if his temper and self-glorifying ego remains the same.
* DefeatByModesty: Happens to Wimp in ''The New Adventure'' and Benjamin in ''The Magic Diamond." They're both defetated when their belts are cut and their pants fall down... though where Wimp is wearing GoofyPrintUnderwear, it's hinted (though not shown) that Benjamin isn't wearing any underwear at all.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: This is what separates Captain Sabertooth from villains like Happy Jack and Maga Khan. He might be ruthless, greedy, temperamental and vindictive, and a bit of a BadBoss, but he does have a sense of honor and won't abandon a crewmember in need.
* GuileHero: Pinky and Veronica, being young children, take this role. Veronica especially steps up in this role in ''The Magic Diamond'', using trickery and well-timed remarks to get her way.
* HookHand: In the first movie, a number of characters have them, including Benjamin. Tully, being the cook, has a ''spatula'' hand, which he sometimes swaps out for a ladle. In ''The Magic Diamond'' both Benjamin and Tully are portrayed with two normal hands like in the stage play, so to compensate one of the nameless crewmembers has ''two'' hook hands. (As well as two wooden legs and eyepatches over both eyes. Apparently he got carried away.)
* TheMusical: Songs are frequent in the movies, though [[AllMusicalsAreAdaptations most of them are recycled from the stage plays]], and usually it's only part of the song that's sung. It's especially noticable in ''The Magic Diamond'', where Maga Khan starts singing his VillainSong, and the scene ''cuts away from him mid-song'' with the pirates asking each other what that noise was.
* PirateParrot: Interestingly, the franchise in general doesn't have a single parrot anywhere... but both the animated movies features parrots to some degree. The first movie has a couple of random parrots who show up for a few scenes (including a memorable scene where a parrot acts as an alarm clock on board the Dark Lady). The second movie features a parrot named Turid, who plays a small part in the plot when she overhears some gossip and relays it to Captain Sabertooth. Afterwards she just kind of decides to hang out on the pirate ship and provide some comic relief.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Completely averted. ''These'' pirates are explicitly shown to plunder other ships and raid villages in the hunt for riches and treasure.
!!Tropes exclusive to ''Captain Sabertooth: The Next Adventure'':
* AssholeVictim: The people of the ship plundered by Captain Sabertooth at the movie's beginning are insufferable snobs who really get no sympathy from the audience even as they are robbed.
* ConspicuousCG: The Dark Lady and other ships, in several shots. They look quite jarring compared to the flat 2D-animation of the characters.
* BlatantLies: When Captain Sabertooth finds out that Pinky has scruples about stealing from people who ''aren't'' {{Asshole Victim}}s, he decides to use Pinky's soft heart to his advantage, telling him to go back to Luna Bay and inform everyone that there'e no danger of a pirate attack because "I would ''never'' dream of taking riches from people who ''need'' them."
* BrokenPedestal: Pinky goes from hero-worshipping Captain Sabertooth, to being utterly disillusioned with him when he discovers his BlatantLies.
* DistinctionWithoutADifference: Pinky wasn't ''spying'' on Veronica, he was just... watching her... without her knowing he was there.
* {{Expy}}: Happy Jack has quite a lot in common with [[Literature/TreasureIsland Long John Silver]], right down to the job as a cook, walking with a crutch or cane, and befriending a young boy who at first has no idea about his mutinous plans. It has to be said, though, that unlike Long John, Happy Jack's redeeming qualities are very plainly not genuine. He doesn't even really need the cane.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Happy Jack can be very polite and friendly when he wants something... but ''only'' when he wants something.
* HeelRealization: Pinky has one when he realizes that plundering and stealing means that you might actually be hurting good and decent people who don't deserve it.
* IWantSong: ''The Falling Stars'', sung by Pinky in the early parts of the movie, and then by Veronica a little later on. It's a song about feeling lonely and apart from everyone else.
* OnlySaneMan: Red Rudy, for the people of Luna Bay. He's the only one who realizes that Tiny has been tricked by Captain Sabertooth.
* RetiredBadass: Red Rudy. He used to be a sailor, now he mostly helps out at Aunt Bessie's inn. He still hasn't forgotten his swordsmansdhip though.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Happy Jack's friends, Turtle and Bink. They serve no purpose in the plot and are merely there to act as stooges for Jack.
* ThreateningShark: Averted with Ravenous, Veronica's tame shark. He might ''look'' threatening, but he's totally harmless.
* TotalEclipseOfthePlot: Gory Gabriel's ship sank during an eclipse, and now the hidden passageway to where it lies is only revealed during an eclipse. In this case, we do get a little bit of RealityEnsues, because even though only ''that'' passaveway can be found during the eclipse, she ship is still there all the time, and Veronica already found it long ago when out swimming with Ravenous.
* WideEyedIdealist: Pinky manages to be this even though he's grown up with pirates. It might have something to do with how he's never actually ''met'' any of the victims.
!!Tropes exclusive to ''Captain Sabertooth and the Magic Diamond'':
* TheAce: Veronica, while DisguisedInDrag, manages to come across as this to Captain Sabertooth. At one point, he even praises her as the only ''competent'' crewmember on board the Dark Lady... but this praise quickly vanishes when he discovers she's really a girl.
* AdaptedOut: Malena Pirate, Wally and Wimp's tough-as-nails mother, was a major character in the stage play. In the movie she doesn't appear, though she is mentioned a few times by Wally and Wimp.
* ArtShift: The previous movie was traditional hand-drawn animation, but this movie is an AllCGICartoon... though the pre-credits scene, when Captain Sabertooth narrates the backstory of the magic diamond, is done in a limited 2D animation style.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Downplayed a little, but still present. The diamond only grants ''one'' wish per person, and offhand remarks or groans of frustration are interpreted as wishes, whether or not you mean them to be. Hence, all the pirates except Captain Sabertooth pretty much waste their wishes on trivialities or accidentally worded remarks because they happen to be holding the diamond when the moonlight shines on it.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome:
** Red Rudy doesn't appear in this movie. Aunt Bessie appears in a small role, but Rudy doesn't get so much as a mention.
** Ravenous the shark has also vanished.
** Benjamin's brother Odin is nowhere to be seen, and pretty much all the minor nameless pirates from the previous movie have been replaced by other, completely different minor nameless pirates.
* DisguisedInDrag: Veronica, for the second act of the movie. When Pinky is taken by the pirates, she tries to go along, but is refused because "girls on board a ship means bad luck." So she dresses up as a boy and gets herself hired as a crewmember.
* HartmanHips: Queen Sirikit has some ''curves'' on her.
* HypocriticalHumor: Benjamin accuses Wally and Wimp of being the laziest pirates he's ever known... while lying in the shade of a palm tree and watching them do all the work.
* LongLostRelative: It comes as no surprise to anyone that Marco is Pinky's younger brother. Their relationship has been slightly altered compared to the original stage play, though; there they already knew each other and Pinky's entire motivation for joining the hunt for the magic diamond was because he heard his brother was in trouble. For this movie, this has been altered to better fit with Pinky's backstory as an orphan raised by the pirates: Here, Pinky has no idea that he has a brother, and he and Marco don't realize that they're related until the final act of the movie.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: It's never outright ''said'' that Maga Khan is a vampire, but given how he has sharp canines, is capavle of flight, and sunlight hurts him, more than one viewer has taken it for granted that he is a vampire. In which case this trope definitely applies, as he is never shown or mentioned to drink blood, and he has [[PlayingWithFire the abiliy to]][[create and throw {{Fireballs}} fireballs at his enemies]]. He also dresses more like a vain bodybuilder than a classic vampire.
* OutOfFocus: Longfinger is a major character in the franchise and had a sizeable role in the first movie. While he's definitely ''present'' in this movie, he doesn't really get all that much attention, and only has a few real scenes.
* ManiacMonkeys: Ultimately averted. Maga Khan has monkey soldiers as his minions, and they do create a whole lot of problems for the protagonists, but they're more PunchClockVillains who are just doing their jobs more than anything else. At the end of the movie, they're all too happy to take Baltazar as their new boss.
* TheUnreveal: We never really find out what Captain Sabertooth would have wished for. In the stage play he was pretty clear that he was going to wish for Gory Gabriel's treasure, but in the movie Pinky just theorizes that the Captain will probably wish for "more gold."

Hence, all the pirates except Captain Sabertooth pretty much waste their wishes on trivialities or accidentally worded remarks because they happen to be holding the diamond when the moonlight shines on it.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome:
** Red Rudy doesn't appear in this movie. Aunt Bessie appears in a small role, but Rudy doesn't get so much as a mention.
** Ravenous the shark has also vanished.
** Benjamin's brother Odin is nowhere to be seen, and pretty much all the minor nameless pirates from the previous movie have been replaced by other, completely different minor nameless pirates.
* DisguisedInDrag: Veronica, for the second act of the movie. When Pinky is taken by the pirates, she tries to go along, but is refused because "girls on board a ship means bad luck." So she dresses up as a boy and gets herself hired as a crewmember.
* HartmanHips: Queen Sirikit has some ''curves'' on her.
* HypocriticalHumor: Benjamin accuses Wally and Wimp of being the laziest pirates he's ever known... while lying in the shade of a palm tree and watching them do all the work.
* LongLostRelative: It comes as no surprise to anyone that Marco is Pinky's younger brother. Their relationship has been slightly altered compared to the original stage play, though; there they already knew each other and Pinky's entire motivation for joining the hunt for the magic diamond was because he heard his brother was in trouble. For this movie, this has been altered to better fit with Pinky's backstory as an orphan raised by the pirates: Here, Pinky has no idea that he has a brother, and he and Marco don't realize that they're related until the final act of the movie.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: It's never outright ''said'' that Maga Khan is a vampire, but given how he has sharp canines, is capavle of flight, and sunlight hurts him, more than one viewer has taken it for granted that he is a vampire. In which case this trope definitely applies, as he is never shown or mentioned to drink blood, and he has [[PlayingWithFire the abiliy to]][[create and throw {{Fireballs}} fireballs at his enemies]]. He also dresses more like a vain bodybuilder than a classic vampire.
* OutOfFocus: Longfinger is a major character in the franchise and had a sizeable role in the first movie. While he's definitely ''present'' in this movie, he doesn't really get all that much attention, and only has a few real scenes.
* ManiacMonkeys: Ultimately averted. Maga Khan has monkey soldiers as his minions, and they do create a whole lot of problems for the protagonists, but they're more PunchClockVillains who are just doing their jobs more than anything else. At the end of the movie, they're all too happy to take Baltazar as their new boss.
* TheUnreveal: We never really find out what Captain Sabertooth would have wished for. In the stage play he was pretty clear that he was going to wish for Gory Gabriel's treasure, but in the movie Pinky just theorizes that the Captain will probably wish for "more gold."
