The Pirates! Band of Misfits (3D)

It's Pirates of the Caribbean" meets "Bad News Bears" when a pirate captain seeks recognition amongst his peers. "Wallace & Grommet" and "Chicken Run" filmmakers use their Claymation talents to spoof the world of pirates, Queen Victoria, and Charles Darwin. It's both a simple funny film for the kiddies and a slyly hilarious send up for adults. Alien didn't get to enjoy the 3D effects because a hard drive malfunction rendered a deteriorating holodeck grid look; however that could have been neutralized with a pirate patch over the left eye.

Alien gives it 3 "Mr. Bobo, the manpanzee" stars out of 4.
