Review
Considering for what it really owes to the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie franchise, 'THE PIRATES: BAND OF MISFITS' provides a lot of comedy which includes gags as well as adventure for this plundering stop-motion picture and is very highly-intelligent. The film did have fine vocal talents such as Hugh Grant who plays the charismatic Pirate Captain while other recognizable stars like the former Tenth Doctor, David Tennant as the historical figure Charles Darwin.

Although Aardman did quite a good job on the movie, it was an entertaining claymation film that is definitely a must-see booty in the cinemas.
