Not Aardman's best but good return to stop-motion.

Following Aardman Animations’ most notable triumphs, such as Wallace And Gromit, Chicken Run and most recently Arthur Christmas, they make their latest motion picture in their second consecutive collaboration with Sony Pictures Animations, but first stop-motion film in seven years. After the hilarious trailer and appearing to bring forth the charm, the jokes and the breath-taking stop-motion pie... read more

I've never quite enjoyed Aardman's work as much as critics. At least, not their full-length films. That's not to say I haven't liked them; I've liked them, but I certainly haven't loved them. Pirates: Band Of Misfits is different, though. This movie, I did love.

None of the primary pirates are given names; their descriptions in the credits are "The Pirate With The Scarf," "The Pira... read more

Appreciating Aardman films seems to be easier for a certain, shall we say, less colonial segment of the movie watching population. The humor is oft-described as simply "British" whatever that actually means. Strangely, despite my avowed love of the Monty Python films, Aardman just hasn't done it for me. Sure I enjoyed Chicken Run and I tolerated Wallace and Gromit because of the neat characteri... read more

Description: After years of humiliation and failed attempts to win the coveted Pirate of the Year Award, Pirate Captain and his oddball crew take on the cream of the pirating crop - Black Bellamy, Peg Leg Hastings and Cutlass Liz - in a race to pillage the most booty. They soon cross paths with lovelorn scientist Charles Darwin, who persuades the ... (more)

" March 21st Lacks the spark of Aardman's earlier feature length efforts, but there was no shortage of laughs. Also it does impress me that a movie with such a random concept manages to work."

Movie Diary - 2013 (245 movies items)

"19.2.2013 Animaatioiden levitys on Suomessa melko kehnossa jamassa kun ei tätäkään saatu originaalina teattereihin. Sen sijaan K12-merkinnällä varustetusta Paranormanista nähtiin originaalin lisäksi myös suomidubbaus. Tässä läppä on monin paikoin enemmän varttuneemmille kuin useimmissa animaatioissa. Eivät monetkaan juniorit varmaan tiedä menossa mukana olevaa Charles Darwinia ja tästä on sanottu puuttuvan Wallance & Gromitin seikkailuille ominaista vauhdikkuutta. Loppupuole"

"Pirates is one of the more ignored animated films of last year, yet proves itself to be fun family fare. Its dry humor and slapstick has lots to offer for its diverse audience. While many of the jokes are a bit juvenile, I found myself laughing out loud at its cleverly-conceived script and inside jokes. It is fast-paced, absurd, and often just silly, a true product of its British roots. The film may not be very original, but it is fun. It is nowhere near the best animated film of last year, but "

"30.1. Aardmanin uusi animaatio näyttää tyyliikkältä, muttei ole järin hauska tai rennon vauhdikas, erityisesti jos sitä vertaa Wallace & Gromitiin tai edes Kananlentoon. Juoni "vuoden merirosvo"-palkintoa havittelevasta merirovokapteenista ja tämän kohtaamisesta piraatteja vihaavan Ison-Britannian kuningattaren kanssa on niin toivottoman vaisu, että leffassa toimivat parhaiten irtovitsit ja jotkin oivaltavat koomiset sivuhahmot (kuten valmiiksi kirjoitettujen korttien kanssa kommuniko"
