The Pirates! In an Adventure With Scientists (PG)

Come along to the next Family Screening at Gloucester Guildhall!  We are showing the the latest animated adventure from Aardman, the makers of Wallace & Gromit: The Pirates! In an Adventure With Scientists.  

Bring your children to join the Pirate Captain and his rag-tag crew. Seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy and Cutlass Liz to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award. It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London doing battle with the pirate-hating Queen Victoria and teaming up with a young Charles Darwin. Hilarious fun and exploring history for the whole family!

We all love the Wallace & Gromit films and this new film appears to be just as popular.  Of course as it is an animated film we just hear the voices of well known actors, including Hugh Grant as the Pirate Captian, Martin Freeman as the Pirate With A Scarf, David Tennant as Charles Darwin and Imelda Staunton as Queen Victoria. 

The film is stop-motion claymation which is quite simply fantastic.

*The movie is a curiosity cabinet of visual pleasures but so breezy and lightly funny that you may not realize at first how good it is.* New York Times

*Endearingly British as Yorkshire pudding, soccer hooliganism and wonky teeth* Variety
