It may not quite scale Aardman's customary delirious heights, but The Pirates! still represents some of the smartest, most skillfully animated fare that modern cinema has to offer.

The filmmakers have said they are already dreaming up a sequel. They needn't hurry. Whatever treasures these pirates have are well buried. April 28, 2012 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

To paraphrase a certain man with a certain luxuriant beard, it's only impossible to enjoy if you stop to think about it. April 27, 2012 | Full Review…

Pirates are right up there with vampires, werewolves and people saying "LOL" out loud on the list of Played-Out Pop Culture Phenomena, but leave it to Aardman Animation to find the remaining reservoirs of fun in a bunch of seafaring scalawags. April 27, 2012 | Full Review…

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. April 27, 2012 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Purists will no doubt be bothered by Aardman's decision to incorporate digital imagery and 3-D, but they use it well here. September 20, 2020 | Rating: 3.0/4.0 | Full Review…

The result is a hurrah for the return of Aardman's finest. Easily their most enjoyable film since Wallace & Gromit. November 27, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Gideon DeFoe's screenplay is smart and very funny with some very well staged laughs. The direction from Peter Lord and Jeff Newitt is just as smart, full of some laugh out loud sight gags. April 12, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

If nothing else, I can say that Aardman's latest is one of the best-looking movies I've seen in 2012...Oh, and the movie also happens to be very funny, a spoof on Pirate pictures without getting all that much weighed down with pop culture. July 3, 2018 | Full Review…
