Online Advertising Creativity / Rich Media: Campaign: AvatarLabs / Walt Disney Studios / PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES : Online Banner Campaign

Fans could click on clips ranging from Jack Sparrow's pirate recruitment video to footage of Walt Disney introducing the original "Pirates" ride, the movie's precursor.
