Bound to be more entertaining than any Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, Aardman gives the genre a tweak.

The Pirates: Band of Misfits

	Plot Summary: A down-on-his-luck pirates captain longs to win the vaunted Pirates of the Year contest and embarks on a strange journey to prove his worth. Release Date: March 30, 2012

	Rating: C- Commentary: This is a fairly typical design with nothing particularly excellent in evidence. It might appeal heavily to children, but I’m not so sure adults will see it as anything more than a kids film with this kind of poster.	Rating: B-; B+ Commentary: Trailer 1: I can’t review the first trailer without cmparing it to the second. Whereas the second trailer features a number of rather funny gags, including a cute little mute monkey, the first trailer lacks the type of laughs I would expect from an Aardman Animation film. / Trailer 2: Aardman’s style of stop-motion claymation is more loosely humorous than the films of Pixar. This trailer showcases the visual flair and capabilities of the Aardman team when it comes to creating lasting comic treasures.
