In the book, it says the director went with the "rock" design because he wanted the foutain to be more earthly and mythical, instead of a "fountain" that was man-made...which I agree with this stand point. I think it was smart to go with the stone structure instead of the man-made looking fountain. The also go on in the book about the mythology of the foutain of youth, and how it was discorved 200yrs prior to On Stranger Tides, and that a temple was built around the rock like fountain...hence the sculptures and pillars surrounding it. Hopes this clears up the choice of the look :) -Chris

Hey Guys! I think the set is actually spot on and looks exactly the way it should...let me explain! I believe that when Disney and Lego came together to work on these POTC sets, Disney gave Lego concept art from the movies production. To my knowledge, Disney was going with this design of the fountain, but decided during production to actually change the design to the fountain we now see in the film. It was too late in the game for Lego to change the designs, and they just went with what they were given. I recently bought "The Art of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides" and it has loads of production notes, aswell as concept art. There are TONS of different designs that were drawn up for the fountain. And yes, there is a design that looks EXACTLY like the Lego set! I have added a picture for all of your viewing pleasure: Uploaded with ImageShack.us So really, I think Lego did what they could with what they were given. Just like the Cyrstal Skulls in the Indiana Jones sets...those skulls were designed on the early concept drawings and not the finished product. *Whoosh* How's that for a first post -Chris
