About The Pirates! Band of Misfits

This animation film tells the adventures and misadventures of a vigorous, yet less-than-successful terror Pirate Captain.  With his crew, the Pirate Captain struggles to reach his ultimate goal: to beat his rivals Black Bellamy and Cutlass Liz to the coveted Pirate of the Year Award. His adventure is further spiced up when he meets the diabolical queen and the smitten young scientist along the way.

Hugh Grant lends his voice to the Pirate Captain. The Captain’s rival, Black Bellamy, is voiced by Jeremy Piven.  Salma Hayek voices the female pirate, Cutlass Liz. The film also features the voices of David Tennant, Imelda Staunton and Martin Freeman.  The Pirates! Band of Misfits is directed by Peter Lord and co-directed by Jeff Newitt.  It is produced by Peter Lord, David Sproxton and Julie Lockhart.  The screenplay is by Gideon Defoe, based upon his book The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists.  The executive Producer is Carla Shelley.  The music is by Theodore Shapiro.
