The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! (released in North America, Australia and New Zealand as The Pirates! Band of Misfits) is a 2012 British-American 3D stop-motion animated swashbuckler comedy film produced by Aardman Animations and Sony Pictures Animation as their second and final collaborative project. It was directed by Peter Lord. The film was distributed by Columbia Pictures and was released on 28 March 2012 in the United Kingdom, and on 27 April 2012 in the United States. The Pirates! features the voices of Hugh Grant, Martin Freeman, Imelda Staunton, David Tennant, Jeremy Piven, Salma Hayek, Lenny Henry and Brian Blessed. The film is loosely based on The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, the first book from Gideon Defoe's The Pirates! series. It follows The Pirate Captain and his crew of amateur pirates in their attempt to win the Pirate of the Year competition. The Pirates! is the fifth feature film by Aardman Animations, and its first stop-motion animated feature since Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit in 2005, and Aardman's first stop-motion clay animated film released in 3D and shot in 2. 35:1 widescreen. The film received positive reviews, while it was a modest box office success, earning $123 million against the budget of $55 million. The film was nominated for the 2013 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, but lost to Disney·Pixar's Brave.

[from trailer]

Pirate Captain:
Avast! I'm a pirate captain, and I'm here for your gold!

Sailor:
Gold? Afraid we don't have any gold, old man. This is a leper boat. [his arm falls off]

Sailor:
See?

[from trailer]

Pirate Captain:
Behind every captain, there's a crew. Sure, some of you are as ugly as a sea cucumber, some of you are closer to being a chair or coat rack than a pirate, and some of you are fish I've just dressed up in a hat...

[from trailer]

Queen Victoria:
I HATE PIRATES!

[from trailer]

Pirate with Scarf:
Can we get there?

Pirate Captain:
Yes, but unfortunately there's this dirty great sea monster in the way.

Charles Darwin:
I think they just add those on the maps for decoration.

Pirate Captain:
Is that a fact? [they go that way, and the monster appears and eats the ship]

Pirate with Scarf:
See? I told you!

[from trailer]

Peg Leg Hastings:
The Pirate of the Year Awards...

Pirate Captain:
Every time I've entered, I've failed to win. So, I must have a really good chance this time!

[from trailer]

Cutlass Liz:
That trophy has got MY name on it.

Pirate Captain:
Fire the long things that go bang!

[from trailer]

Pirate Captain:
What pirates? Nobody here but us girl scouts! [the crew is disguised in scout uniforms]

Bobo:
Yeah. Right.

[from trailer]

Black Bellamy:
You want to be Pirate of the Year? Do they just give it to the guy with the fattest parrot?

Pirate Captain:
She's not fat, she's just big-boned!

Black Bellamy:
She's fat, dude! [the Dodo vomits on Bellamy]

Black Bellamy:
Dude, come on!

[from trailer]

Pirate Captain:
You're the best crew a captain could wish for!

[from trailer]

Pirate Captain:
[looks at Darwin's house] You don't get many girls, do you?

Bobo:
No. He. Doesn't.

Pirate Captain:
And that's why, in a straight fight, a shark would probably beat a Dracula.

Pirate Captain:
Now listen Charles, we've all done something unforgivable. I've betrayed my pirate honor, you've betrayed science, and Mr. Bobo's betrayed the animal kingdom.

Charles Darwin:
Yeah, I had this theory. I thought that if you took a monkey, gave him a monocle and covered up his gigantic unsightly ass, then he'd cease to be a monkey and become more of a "manpanzee," if you will.
