MMM: #3 The Pirates! A Band of Misfits

[katikat]

This actually disappointed me. Not that it wasn't funny but... I had a hard time connecting with the characters. I didn't really... feel them, I guess. Unlike Arthur Christmas, another animated movie from the same company, where I simply adored the characters and rooted for them, here... Eh.

The only interesting part, a part that I really liked was the relationship between the Pirate Captain and the Pirate with the Scarf, his Number Two. Scarf could always cheer the Captain up - and he was also his moral compass. And the one who usually saved the Captain's butt. I LOL'd in the scene where the Captain asked Scarf if he maybe was a woman in disguise. That kinda... gave me a pause. And I had to wonder - if Scarf WAS a woman in disguise, would the Captain actually consider... you know. I mean, I know that it's a movie for kids but there are usually bits and pieces in them that only adults understand and this... This was a surprisingly slashy twist :P

But overall... If you want to give a try to an animated movie from Aardman, go for Arthur Christmas. It's much better.
