For Animation I, we had to create a character for us to animate a jump sequence, a walk sequence, and a weight lifting sequence. Meet Pete the Pirate. And this came out *before* I saw PotC, proving that I liked pirates way before that movie. Anyway, I create a personality for him, so I decided that Pete wanted to fit in with his fellow pirates and be cut-throaty and such, but in his heart, he really wanted to be a ballerina. Thus, why he gracefully looks beyond the horizon.
