The Pirates! Band Of Misfits

Hide your booty and dig up your treasure because here comes The Pirates! Band of Misfits on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack!

From the creators of "Chicken Run" comes another superbly executed stop-motion animated feature film that entertains despite its sprawling and trivial narrative. What it lacks in compelling story, it more than makes up for in fun performances by familiar voices such as Hugh Grant, Martin Freeman, Jeremy Piven, Brendan Gleeson, and many more.

A perfect film for kids ten and under, "The Pirates! Band of Misfits" is not a film most adults would want to sit through more than once. Its ridiculous set pieces and blatantly modern character goals put a zany twist on an all-too-familiar genre. It's entertaining in short bouts, but as a feature film it just simply goes on far too long.

For an in-depth look at the filmmaking process, the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack is full of cinematic treasures. The Blu-ray disc includes a making of featurette, a closer look at the epic staircase chase scene, a dress up game, and numerous animated shorts. The computer-friendly DVD has a flash card game and a DVD-ROM link to more online fun like printable activity pages.

If you love stop-motion animation, Pirates, or need to entertain the kids, then drop anchor and go buy "The Pirate! Band of Misfits" on Blu-ray. Oh, and don't worry, because when the kids wear out both Blu-ray and DVD discs, there is always the ultraviolet digital copy.
