Pirate Captain sets out on a mission to defeat his rivals Black Bellamy and Cutlass Liz for the Pirate of the year Award. The quest takes Captain and his crew from the shores of Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London.
Okay, this is just a kids movie and I probably should have not payed this one any attention when I was last at the friendly neighbourhood DVD store.
However, there was just something innocent and charming about this. Granted there may not be a lot of what you might think to be ‘well crafted’ gags but this is the kind of movie that the entire movies is going to enjoy and you will probably will not find yourself going crazy the first few times that this movie gets replayed by your kids.
I also particularly enjoyed the character of Queen Victoria who at least in part seemed to be inspired by the character of Futurama Mom.
