Review of The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! (2012) by Happymonk — 14 May 2012

Another hit for Aardman! While maybe not as good as Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit or Arthur Christmas, it is better than Flushed Away and holds it own very well against other animated films. It's animation is superb, it's dialogue (while not hilarious) is well written and funny, and the voice acting is good.

There's something about it which didn't quite make it an instant classic, something which I can't quite put my finger on... This is a shame as obviously lots of love and hard work have gone into this film.

If you haven't yet watched the film, do so, as everyone in your family will probably enjoy it.
