Official Synopsis : In
The Pirates! Band of Misfits,
Hugh Grant stars in his first animated role as the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain - a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (
Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and
Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (
Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (
Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award. It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they battle a diabolical queen (
Imelda Staunton) and team up with a haplessly smitten young scientist (
David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!
