Calling kids of all ages and those who are kids at heart, prepare for another journey to the sea! This is what we should do if we intend to watch The Pirates! Band of Misfits online. The film is obviously geared towards attracting the younger audience. However, you can still opt to watch The Pirates! Band of Misfits online. This is because of the very advance kind of technology that was used to make this movie appealing even to the more mature audience. Those who have already decided to watch The Pirates! Band of Misfits online should know that the film was actually made in 3D stop-motion technology. So if you are after the complete effects, maybe you should rethink going to the cinemas instead of just staying at home to watch The Pirates! Band of Misfits online.

If you are going to watch The Pirates! Band of Misfits online, obviously, you might not be able to enjoy the movie’s 3D effect. Also, if you are going to watch The Pirates! Band of Misfits online, you might fail to catch the whole sense of watching a full stop-motion movie.

This movie is a first in all aspects. It is the first 3D stop-motion animation for Aardman’s studio. This kind of technology requires patience in the sense that each scene is painstakingly done with small movements to comprise the whole movie. Aardman’s signature style of Claymation is deeply embedded into the movie.

This movie is based on Gideon Defoe’s two books entitled The Pirates! In an Adventure with a Scientist and The Pirates! In an Adventure with the Whaling. This movie tackles the misadventures of The Pirate Captain in his quest towards winning the Pirate of the Year Award. To be able to do this, he must first defeat his rivals Cutlass Liaz and Black Bellamy. This attempt at winning brought The Pirate Captain and his crew across the sea and even in the streets.

However, a certain issue arose even before the movie got released. In a trailer for this movie, there is a scene where in the Pirate Captain demanded gold from the people occupying a boat. One of the crew of that boat answered him that he is afraid that there is no gold in that boat because it was a lepers’ boat. When he gestured with his arm, the arm fell off. That particular scene got very negative feedback from representatives of the leper community. They mentioned that the scene made fun of the disease and that it reinforces the prejudice that people have against lepers. After getting this reaction, Aardman responded that the scene is to be amended and that the last thing that the movie wants to do is to offend anyone. The Lepra Health in Action then announced that they are pleased about what Aardman announced.

The movie is set to be released on April 27, 2012 in the United States. Cast members are Hugh Grant, Salma Hayek, Jeremy Piven, Imelda Staunton and David Tennent.
