PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Aardman integrates its feted old-school stop-motion technique with top-drawer visual effects to create the irrepressibly amusing The Pirates! Band of Misfits" (Leslie Felperin: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"A delightful romp whose varied pleasures should please kids all along the age spectrum" (John DeFore: The Hollywood Reporter)

----------------------------------------
"A curiosity cabinet of visual pleasures but so breezy and lightly funny that you may not realize at first how good it is. (You're too busy grinning.)" (Manohla Dargis: The New York Times)

----------------------------------------
"Another deliriously silly stop-motion animation delight from Aardman, filled with giddy pleasures and witty details (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Nell Minow: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"I found this 3-D stop-motion adventure from Aardman Animations quite charming (...) It doesn’t quite match the heights of their Wallace and Gromit films, but the same brand of absurdist humor, highlighted by the handcrafted style of the animation, is wholly present." (Drew Hunt: Chicago Reader)
