The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!
What if the fiercest pirate on the Seven Seas was actually a bumbling optimist whose prized possession is a pet parrot that seems more indifferent than impressive? This is the delightful predicament of the Pirate Captain, whose quest for the coveted Pirate of the Year Award sets sail in the hilarious 2012 stop-motion adventure, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! When the Captain and his quirky crew accidentally kidnap the young Charles Darwin, their fortunes take an unexpected turn. Darwin identifies the Captain’s bird not as the common “Polly” he thought, but as the last surviving dodo, a discovery that could win them a grand scientific prize instead. Their escapade pits them against the villainous Queen Victoria, who has a sinister, dodo-based secret of her own. This family-friendly comedy is a treasure trove of visual gags and witty British humor, celebrating themes of friendship, embracing your quirks, and discovering that true worth isn't measured by trophies. Viewers should embark on this journey for its unique Aardman Animations charm, a stellar voice cast, and a genuinely clever story that proves even the most unlikely heroes can find greatness.
