Where did Jeff go?

There is a strange scene in "Dolit's Fantasy Adventure" (actually, "Doctor Dolittle"). The protagonist Doctor Dollit goes to sea to find the Fruit of Eden, and the midway ship is sunk by the villain. They can no longer embark on an adventure, this is the darkest and lowest moment of the protagonist group in the plot. Although the old man played by Antonio Banderas looks down on the son-in-law Dolit in every possible way, he still provides them with a ship to go to sea. So the protagonist team boarded this shabby and old sailing ship, and the partners said that this ship is so bad, how can it go to sea to take risks and fight against the villains? ——So the following picture appeared:

Pirate Jeff

The Big Bear, one of the protagonists, saw a canvas in the corner of the ship, pulled the canvas apart, and underneath was a prisoner who looked like a pirate, and suddenly pushed the camera horizontally to give a close-up. The prisoner's evil charm greeted the protagonist and his group with a frenzied smile: "Hi! I'm Jeff!"

pause.

Question: A normal fantasy adventure story, how will it develop next? This pirate joined the protagonist group, with superb skills driving a small broken ship through the dangerous seas, and fought with the steel battleships of the British Empire, making the protagonist group back its disadvantages bit by bit. During this period, the pirates, out of their cunning nature, may betray Doctor Dolit, and become an inducement for the intensification of conflicts within the protagonist group. In any case, he would be a dangerous ally with Doctor Dolit.

However, the movie "Dolly's Fantasy Adventure" is not a normal story. The pirate named Jeff never appeared in the film again! So what is the purpose of this role here? If it's not an important role, why give him a close-up of the flat shot? Do you think this is implying that this is the key to the protagonist team's turn from defeat to victory? No, they will find their destination in the next scene. Just like this movie, the story of watching the trailer and the story presented in the feature film is not a style at all. The whole movie is very sublime, the plot is thin, the turns are random, and the characters are extremely noisy. It is a fantasy adventure, but it is neither thrilling nor interesting.

    Not one-tenth as good as Jim Carrey's "Detective Plane 2" more than 20 years ago, but just replaced people with a bunch of animals, chatting and chatting endlessly. 2
