Jumping Ship is a 2001 American adventure comedy-drama film and the sequel to the 1999 Disney Channel Original Movie, Horse Sense.

[1] Although Michael has become a more mature individual since the first film and shows more concern for others, he still feels that, by birthright, he deserves to start at the top of his father's law firm.

But when modern-day pirates chase the fishing boat, the boys are forced to jump ship, leaving them stranded on a desert island.

Michael also tells his father that he will begin the process for law school application, and accepts his dad's clerking job to help him prepare for that.

[citation needed] Laura Fries of Variety wrote that the film "works as passable family entertainment for now, but it won't have much of a shelf life."
