The Pirates! Band of Misfits

A peculiar crew of Pirates seek out fame and fortune, in hopes that their own Captain will win Pirate of the Year.  Along the way they run into several obstacles including a vengeful Queen Victoria and a determined Charles Darwin.

Although this contained very clever dialogue the story itself was terribly weak and a bit boring. I wanted so badly to like the story and to care about the characters, as I am a huge fan of Chicken Run, nevertheless, the skillful quips are somewhat lost on the audience due to the on screen over kill. The claymation is, as always, amazing.


** Rentable


Rated PG (for mild rude humor)
