The Pirates! Band of Misfits (2012)

“The Pirates! Band of Misfits,” a story of high-seas silliness from that British national treasureAardman Animations (Wallace &Gromit). Exquisitely detailed — from its ocean breakers to the wavelike curlicues on a pirate’s luxurious beard — the movie is a curiosity cabinet of visual pleasure, adventure, humor, action and animation.
Directed by the Peter Lord and written by Gideon Defoe, based on his book “Pirates!” series (“The Pirates! In an Adventure With Scientists”), the story centers on the Pirate Captain voiced by Hugh Grant who is starring with Salma Hayek, Jeremy Piven and with many other phenomenal actors.
SYNOPSIS: Hugh Grant stars in his first animated role as the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain – a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award. It’s a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they battle a diabolical queen (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a haplessly smitten young scientist (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!

Movie has been released on 27th of October in USA and is running successfullly in theatres worldwide!
