The Pirates! Band of Misfits
2012movie
Band of Misfits. This is the first Aardman animated feature to be shot in digital and, as well, the studio's first 3-D effort. For Aardman purists, this may be difficult to accept as it's really the almost lifelike imperfections of Aardman's animations that render them so endearing to audiences. While this concern is legitimate, it's for naught as The Pirates!Band of Misfits is the kind of film that lingers with you long after you've left the theater when, quite suddenly, it will occur to you "That was one darn fine film."
Aardman Animations Limited, known simply as Aardman, is a British animation studio based in Bristol, England. It is known for films and television series made using stop-motion and clay animation techniques, particularly those featuring its plasticine characters from Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, Shaun the Sheep, and Morph. After some experimental computer-animated short films during the late 1990s, beginning with Owzat (1997), Aardman entered the computer animation market with Flushed Away (2006).
