When the characters look like Wallace and Gromit, I expect more. It's not Nick Park but Peter Lord helming The Pirates! Band of Misfits, so I guess I was expecting too much. This movie made little to no impression on my daughters, who typically claim every movie they just finished watching is their favorite movie ever. (Even Yogi Bear, people.)
It had a great cast of voices and a few good jokes, but the comedy was forced, the wit was thin and you pretty much saw the successful bits in the trailer. There was a lot of talk of pirates being proud of objectifying women, which makes me want to grab my girls and run. I'm a little baffled how this film ended up nominated this year.
