The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists - known as The Pirates! Band Of Misfits in the US, because scientists apparently don't sell (and that's quite apart from Charles Darwin being a main character). An Aardman Animations film for kids. UK-made, the US financial contribution only added a small amount of gratuitous pseudo-irony and one Dreamworks smirk.

Edit: I didn't actually say if it was any good. It is. Go see it :-)

We (two adults, parents of a small child) laughed like drains, so I'll say "yes" :-)

Just lost about 45 minutes to TVtropes. Warning.

However, knowing that "Pirates!" was originally subtitled "In an Adventure With Scientists" increases my interest in seeing it.

I figured it was a reasonable hazard in a media thread.
