Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/animal cruelty/shooting/stabbing/impaling/rainbow community component/transformation

In 1837 London: briefly; we have this pirate and his crew; called the Pirate Captain/other characters [Voice by: Hugh Grant:] he has this Dodo by the name of Polly, he is very much a oblivious to the fact he is a bit of a dimwit, he is absolutely desperate to win this award; Pirate of the Year, but luckily enough his second in command The Pirate with a Scarf/referred to as Number Two/other characters [Voiced by: Martin Freeman:] he only other hand is the one that has the intelligence and consequently it is his job to make sure that his captain either doesn't do anything stupid or say anything too stupid; such as pointing out something on a map would isn't on the map geographically speaking

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is good, but it does take some time to fully get going either in a storyline sense or/and framework and pacing sense; this film goes on for roughly 88 minutes and because it does take some time to catch the light I always regardless how many times I see this film struggle to keep awake in the opening section or slightly more or less.

Art, character developments, comedy and action; the art is of; stop-motion animation; so of course it is really easy to settle down with this type of project as there is so much to see and experience; be it in this pub, ship or award ceremony and/or in the air: in short excellent variety such as for one example; Pirates have been outlawed in the United Kingdom, so this crew has to go through this very quick changing of clothing so for one change that could be girl guides whilst on another occasion they could be something else and this is just one element of the comedy, the other could be this runaway bathtubs with the vast majority of this crew in it whilst one member is having a bath and we have our captain trying to chase it down as it goes downstairs on this penny farthing [for the younger generations; this is a cycle bike which has one massive wheel at the front and connected to a small wheel at the back,] or much later Queen Victoria [Voiced by: Imelda Staunton:] she is the current reigning Queen of England, she is very easy to fly off the handle, if she doesn't hear what she likes or/and anything against her wishes and she really hates Pirates; but in this sequence to very quickly drops a few pounds and shows off her combat skills with swords.

Character developments and voice performances; these character developments are very well thought out versions of what they are meant to be, coinciding vibrant and altogether excellent voice performances from the entire cast; they all bring their characters to life, this is very much a cast collaboration of the highest order.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; I mean everything I have said here is true, so if you haven't seen this film yet especially if you have a young to teen family or it is built for family viewing of all ranges, but my point is if you have a young family it should suit them down to the ground, I had the excellent pleasure with person I watch some of this content with to go and see this film at the cinema as you can already tell it was excellent, yes throughout the closing credits in the beginning and throughout for a little while there are extra scenes and finally yes this film has some awards accredited to its name such as 21 Nominees which include but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 2013 Oscar Best Animated Feature Peter Lord and Behind the Voice Actors Awards 2013 BTVA Feature Film Voice Acting Award Best Vocal Ensemble in a Feature Film Hugh Grant Martin Freeman David Tennant Salma Hayek Jeremy Piven Imelda Staunton Russell Tovey Brendan Gleeson Lenny Henry Ashley Jensen Brian Blessed Anton Yelchin
