Director : Peter Lord
Running Time : 89 mins
Pirate Captain (Grant) would love nothing more than to win the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award; unfortunately he and his crew are useless and have practically no booty. However, when they meet Charles Darwin (Tennant) and discover that the ships parrot is in fact a dodo, they see an opportunity to make money from the Scientist Of The Year Award and claim it as booty to win the Pirates Award.
This is a very good kids film, filled with visual humour and wonderful characters that don’t even need names to be effective. Hugh Grant camps it up as the pirate who wants nothing more than to be popular, and his surprisingly loyal crew – including a woman disguised as a man (a subject that is never directly addressed throughout the movie) – really manage to make us route for the pirate who can’t be all bad if so many people are in his favour. Fans of Aardman Animation will know what to expect, and will be pleased to know that what they expect is exactly what is delivered.
