Aardman Animations have released a brand new featurette, recording the process of the creation of their upcoming film, THE PIRATES! BAND OF MISFITS.
The studio behind CHICKEN RUN (2000) and ARTHUR CHRISTMAS (2011) released the video, which gives us an insight into the world of stop-motion animation and the painstaking process of making everything perfect. It has even been revealed that Aardman Animations’ upcoming release took 18 months to shoot!
The new movie stars Hugh Grant as Pirate Captain, an enthusiastic-but-failed pirate. Sailing the seas with his crew (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey and Ashley Jensen), Pirate Captain has only one thing on his mind – winning the Pirate Of The Year Award. Also starring Jeremy Piven, Salma Hayek, Imelda Staunton and David Tennant, this swashbuckling adventure is sure to be hilarious and a must-see for spring.
THE PIRATES! BAND OF MISFITS is set for release in 3D from 27th April, 2012.
