The Pirate Captain is tired of always being seen as a loser. When he enters in the Pirate Of The Year Awards, he gets laughed at, which drives him to steal as much gold as possible. He even goes as far as selling his parrot, whi turns out to be a dodo. Charles Darwin buys it and gives it to his crush, Queen Victoria. Unfortunately, she doesn't take care of the dodo like the Pirate Captain had hoped.

I was excited to see this movie, mainly because it's an Aardman production and it has an amazing cast. Unfortunately, Aardman has lost a bit of the humour that was shown in Chicken Run and the Wallace And Gromit series. However, both the cast and the wicked (typically British) script make up for it.
