Perry’s Previews Movie Review: The Pirates! Band of Misfits                                                                                           April 27, 2012

Four and a half stars.(4.5 out of 5 starfish)

By Perry S. Chen

Imagine if you are a pirate with a big dream but little talent, and nobody believes you can win anything big. And, to top it off, you just entered yourself into a prestigious contest that made you a laughing stock!  That’s exactly what the Pirate Captain, the protagonist of the new Aardman/Sony animation film “The Pirates! Band of Misfits,” has got himself into.  But the determination of the easy-going, gullible Captain to win the coveted “Pirate of the Year Award” takes him and his rowdy crew on an adventure of a life time!

I laughed so much as I watched the Pirate Captain and his crew traveling the globe, discovering obscure scientific wonders, competing with other more successful millionaire pirates, and fighting off the wicked Queen of England who loathes all pirates.   Along the way, the Pirate Captain meets many colorful characters, including Charles Darwin BEFORE he became famous, and Darwin’s mute chimp butler “Bobo” who brought comedic relief and more twists to the plot.  The captain couldn’t do without his loyal deputy, “Number 2,” whose smart warnings often go unheeded.

I loved the humor, there is plenty of physical comedy for younger children, and funny pop cultural references that adults enjoy, including the four “Pirate of the Year” nominees waiting in the wings, anxious for the winner announcement, just like at the Oscars. I thought that the claymation was done skillfully, all characters have such lively expressions and personality.

I noticed a lot of similarities between the lead characters of this film and “Wallace & Gromit” which were created by the same studio, Aardman in the UK.  The Pirate Captain and Wallace are both easy-going and gullible, often leading to their downfall, but both are great at adapting to their environment using their special talent: The Pirate Captain with his forest of hair and ingenious disguises, Wallace with his inventions and various contraptions to make his life easier.  “Number 2” and Gromit demonstrated undying loyalty and more smarts than their “Number 1.”

I think the addition of Darwin and the chimp is a stroke of genius, enriching the plot and adding plenty of humor.  Imagine scientists mingling with pirates, how awkward Darwin must have felt!
