About the Movie

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, known internationally as The Pirates! Band of Misfits, is a 3-D stop-motion animated film produced by Aardman Animations in partnership with Sony Pictures Animation. It was directed by Peter Lord, the director of Chicken Run. The film was distributed by Columbia Pictures and was released on 28 March 2012, in UK, and is scheduled for 27 April 2012, in US. The Pirates! features the voices of Hugh Grant, Salma Hayek, Jeremy Piven, Imelda Staunton and David Tennant.

The film is based on the first two books from Gideon Defoe’s The Pirates! series, The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists and The Pirates! in an Adventure with Whaling. It is Aardman Animations’ first stop-motion clay animated feature to be released in Digital 3D and their first film since Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit to contain such high levels of “on-the-nose” humour.
