"The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! is a Claymation film directed by Peter Lord and made by Aardman Animations based on the pirate stories of Gideon Defoe. It's Aardman's first full-length stop-motion film in seven years. Outside the UK, the film is being marketed under the title of The Pirates! Band of Misfits. The film features a nameless crew of pirates (who are only referred to by description, as in \"The Pirate With Gout,\" \"The Albino Pirate,\" and \"The Pirate Who Likes Kittens and Sunsets\") who aren't very good at piracy but are incredibly enthusiastic about it. The Pirate Captain is obsessed with winning the Pirate of the Year Award so he can at last earn the respect of his peers, but his incompetence renders this almost impossible. To earn the prize, the crew navigates a ridiculously exaggerated caricature of Victorian London, running afoul of Charles Darwin, Jane Austen, and the Elephant Man, and braving the hellish wrath of Queen Victoria (whose official royal motto is \"I hate pirates!\")"@en . .
