Hugh Grant gets the dudes who fiddle about with Wallace and Gromit to slap a plastecine beard on his chops in order to pirate it up. He wants to be the best pirate he can be but all the other pirates are right bullies and make him feel real bad about his skill set. He enters the pirate of the year competition and in order to try and win it he meets David Tenant in the form of Charles Darwin and together with a very fat, flightless parrot set out on their merry way to adventure.
Firstly Aardman are the aforementioned dudes and as we all know they are completely awesome at what they do, all you have to do is watch curse of the wererabbit to know I'm right. The animation is brilliant. As far as I know it is actually hand made models and stop motion and to be honest I like it better that way so don't actually care if I am wrong. The characters are great and the story is very clever. Typical aardman the film is full of jokes that jump up and punch you in the face and jokes that sneak in the back door quietly and tickle you in your sleep. Maybe got a bit carried away with that analogy, anywho the film is pretty good. Not as good as any of the wallace and gromits unfortunately but that is like saying that monkfish isn't as good as lobster, again not the best analogy but I like lobster so screw you.
Verdict: 4/5
