The action is beautifully staged, delightful, and exciting.
The filmmakers have said they are already dreaming up a sequel. They needn't hurry. Whatever treasures these pirates have are well buried.
To paraphrase a certain man with a certain luxuriant beard, it's only impossible to enjoy if you stop to think about it.
Designed to please all generations of irreverent humour-lovers, The Pirates! Band of Misfits may not be heart-warming (it is about nasty, scurvy pirates!) but it's breezy rollicking fun.
You may laugh more than the child who brought you to "The Pirates! Band of Misfits," a subtly screwball animated comedy with a distinctively British wit.
The joyfully silly gags in "Pirates!" often feel old-fashioned in a "Looney Tunes"-esque way...
There's comic treasure in this animated feature
... enough amusing throwaway gags to keep us entertained.
The Pirates! Band of Misfits deserves two doubloons up. It shivered me funny bone.
The fun, infectious tone is set early on and never peters out. The humor is kind of like Monty Python for kids.
Droll and charming, and will probably appeal more to fans of Monty Python and 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' than to young kids...
This is a very funny, very good looking movie getting lost in the fray.
Warning to all ye who enter: drollery, Pythonesque absurdity, and some smartly silly swashbuckling with history ahead. The dark corners of wooden ships and buildings ground the zaniness in Victorian atmosphere, so even modern jokes sail smoothly along.
The best laughs come around the fringes, with great throwaway gags and Grant's usual self-deprecating way with dialogue.
A few funny lines and a great vocal turn by Hugh Grant. All else is unexciting. Can't see the kids going wild over this one.
A first-class Aardman Animations comedy.
Gadzooks, is this movie bonkers. I mean, really.
Deserves no small amount of credit for being an absolute delight... and for never acting like the viewer is an idiot even as it never requires that the viewer be a genius.
As a running gag, the man-panzee is pretty predictable, but as an observation of how cute creatures are perpetually manipulated and abused in family entertainments, it is rather rich.
...as sprightly and bright as the studio's cherished favorites, such as Chicken Run, though the sheer volume of gags hurled here leads to a slightly lower hitting percentage.
It's hard to emphasize enough just how intricate it is, abundant with rich details... At the same time, it's also warmly human, with characters so expressive you'll want to join the crew.
The wonderful folks at Aardman have created another deliriously silly stop-motion animation delight, filled with giddy pleasures and so many witty details flying by that you wish for a pause button.
The majority of the film can't quite live up to this barnstorming first half hour, but it remains a delight throughout, even when the gags become a little more hit and miss.
At best a picturesque pantomime, it is ultimately a plodding pastiche that represents a whole lot of effort for very little return.
A whimsical confection that effortlessly puts a smile on the lips of the harshest cynic.
