The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! (also called The Pirates! Band of Misfits outside of the UK) is a Claymation film directed by Peter Lord and created by Sony Pictures Animation and Aardman Animations, their first stop-motion feature since The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, based on the pirate stories of Gideon Defoe.The film features a nameless crew of pirates (who are only referred to by description, as in "The Pirate With Gout," "The Albino Pirate," and "The Pirate Who Likes Sunsets and Kittens") who aren't very good at piracy but are incredibly enthusiastic about it. The Pirate Captain is obsessed with winning the Pirate of the Year Award so he can at last earn the respect of his peers, but his incompetence renders this almost impossible.To earn the prize, the crew navigates a ridiculously exaggerated caricature of Victorian London, running afoul of Charles Darwin, Jane Austen, and the Elephant Man, and braving the hellish wrath of Queen Victoria (whose official royal motto is "I hate pirates!"). |

Self-Plagiarism |
| The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists / int_116f6f1c |
comment |
Self-Plagiarism: Or maybe Mythology Gag or Shout-Out—but the climactic scene of this film bears a surprising resemblance to Aardman's previous effort, Chicken Run. In both, someone is trying to get away via an ungainly flying device (the bird machine in the first one vs. a blimp in this film). In both, someone else is trying to catch them via climbing up a long string or rope (Christmas tree lights in the first, a rope in the second). In both, the person trying to fly away attempts to cut the string/rope as the other person climbs. Not to mention that both scenes feature a female villain whose motivation is to eat a bird character. The main difference is that in this film, it's the hero (the Pirate Captain) trying to climb up and the villain (Queen Victoria) trying to get away, whereas in Chicken Run the situation was reversed. |

Card-Carrying Villain: The pirates in the movie are so proud of being pirates they hold a "Pirate of the Year" award, and pirates who receive pardon for their crimes are disqualified for the prize and banned from Bloody Island. When Queen Victoria revokes Pirate Captain's pardon and sets the reward for his capture to be higher than the reward for any other pirate on the world, Pirate Captain likes it. On the other side of things, Victoria's royal crest says "I Hate Pirates!" |

At the end of the film, the aforementioned sea monster jumps out of the water and swallows the ship... only to spit it out again. Also, with an added serving of Genre Blindness: |

Historical Villain Downgrade |
| The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists / int_18baa751 |
comment |
Historical Villain Downgrade: The "villain" part is debatable, but Charles Darwin is presented in the movie as a bumbling ineffectual Butt-Monkey who is horrified at the idea of a secret society who eat rare animals. As has been noted elsewhere on the page, in real life...not so much. Also the pirates (all of them, not just the main crew) are pretty much the relatively tame childhood fantasy version of pirates with their more unsavoury historical aspects rarely being mentioned or dwelt on - even Cutless Liz's penchant for stabbing people doesn't seem that bad considering at least one of her victims recovers by the end. |

Only Sane Man: The Pirate With A Scarf and Mr. Bobo. The Pirate With A Scarf plays a variation of this in the books. He's still one of the only intelligent and competent characters, but he honestly believes that The Pirate Captain is the incredible pirate he claims to be and trusts him completely. When Number Two does the pep talk, he also says that a true pirate loves stabbing people to which Pirate Captain nods and agrees that he really enjoys that. |

Anachronism Stew |
| The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists / int_259d5879 |
comment |
Anachronism Stew: The movie states at the very start that the year is 1837, which instantly confuses a few things. Victoria was queen at this point, but only just; she was crowned that year. Darwin was already famous in scientific circles by now. The film also features cameos from Jane Austen and Joseph Merrick. In 1837, the former was already dead and the latter was yet to be born. Apparently, people in 1837 are aware of who BRIAN BLESSED is.note One may, of course, speculate that his voice is so loud that it echoes backwards in time. That this is physically impossible does not make it any less fun to contemplate. And this is putting aside the fact that 17th century style pirates are still hanging around in the 19th century. Though this is actually Queen Victoria's reason for hating pirates—they're out of date and need to go. While the Beagle was sailing in 1837, Charles Darwin wasn't on it at the time. He had stopped sailing with it in 1836, and spent 1837 in England compiling his discoveries for publication. Many, many science issues in the film, including the (albeit limited) public use of electricity in 1837 and a prototype atomic bomb. The pirates' first disguises was as a group of Girl Guides. However, the scouting movement didn't begin until 1907. Some usage of modern linguistics in Victorian times, such as the 'crew in the street sense, yo' line. A guard refers to Queen Victoria as Empress Of India, but Queen Victoria would not be empress until 1876. One of the rulers in the dining club looks like Napoleon, who would have been dead by then, although it may be his son Napoleon II or his nephew Napoleon III who would have the same appearance due to sharing the same name. Even then Napoleon II died in 1832 while Napoleon III wouldn't be emperor until the 1850s. A conversation between two guards discusses Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster. Frankenstein existed in 1837, but Dracula wouldn't be written for another sixty years. It should be noted that all of these examples use the Rule of Funny excuse. |

Adaptational Heroism |
| The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists / int_3f45f1e6 |
comment |
Adaptational Heroism: In the original book, the pirates are rather disdainful of each other and even casually execute one of their own when the crew becomes too large. In the film, they're True Companions. In the books, the Pirate Captain is more or less a Cloud Cuckoolander Designated Hero whereas in the movie, he's more of a lovable antihero. |

It doesn't exactly take a genius to figure out that the Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate is a Sweet Polly Oliver. Luckily for her, none of her fellow pirates can be called that. |

Author Vocabulary Calendar: Played with in the books, where The Pirate Captain constantly refers to his "luxuriant beard". He also, more oddly, refers often to his "stentorian nose", even though "stentorian" is a tone of voice. |

While Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate's plotline is left unresolved, Darwin gets over Victoria by the end after realizing just how evil she actually is. According to Peter Lord, The Pirate Captain has a bit of an unrequited crush on Cutlass Liz which is hinted at in his Dream Sequence. |

Establishing Character Moment: "I! HATE! PIRATES!" The Ham Nite scene serves as one for the pirate crew in general. Black Bellamy's flashy entrance. Darwin's first scene has him writing in his journal about discovering a new species of barnacle and generally being all Darwin-ish, then he says this; "I'll never get a girlfriend. I am so unhappy." |

Object-Shaped Landmass: Played for Laughs with Blood Island, which is called that not because it's a pirate haven with a long history of violence, but because it's "exactly in the shape of some blood". |

Big Entrance: The Pirate Captain's competitors for Pirate of the Year show up in the Barnacle's Face tavern in Reverse Order of Awesomeness. Peg Leg Hastings swings through the door. Cutlass Liz blows a hole in the wall with a hand-held cannon. Black Bellamy arrives inside a whale full of gold doubloons. The Pirate King's principal method of travel seems to be by giant, Vegas-esque clam shell. |

Travel Montage: Three of them; the pirates searching for treasure (which doubles as the opening credits), the pirates and Darwin sailing to London and the Pirate Captain and Darwin chasing the QV1 across Europe. The latter two include the vessel's path being shown on the map as a trail of red dots — intercut with a shot of the vessel in which someone is actually dropping a series of red circular objects off the stern. |

The Bathtube scene can count as well, since the Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate is naked the whole time (though conveniently covered by foam) and by definition topless from the back. While that part may get forgotten by the audience after a bit, they are quickly reminded at the end when everyone returns to the mansion but her. |

Naked People Are Funny |
| The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists / int_a58e5ad7 |
comment |
Naked People Are Funny: One of the ships that the Pirate Captain and his crew attempt to plunder in the montage of failures to plunder anything at sea is a ship of naturists. The scene is especially humorous due to the naturists apparently not having a problem with their ship being attacked by a fully-clothed pirate. The Bathtube scene can count as well, since the Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate is naked the whole time (though conveniently covered by foam) and by definition topless from the back. While that part may get forgotten by the audience after a bit, they are quickly reminded at the end when everyone returns to the mansion but her. |

comment |
For the Evulz: Queen Vicky has an obsession with eating endangered animals to extinction, seemingly just because she can. And judging from her rant in the opening scene, she also has rather petty reasons for hating pirates, citing their shanties, hats, and roaring as reasons for their extermination. She hates pirates for the same reason as endangered animals- they're outdated remnants of the past. |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue |

comment |
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Darwin returns to the Galapagos Islands and successfully woos a local girl. Mr. Bobo joins The Pirate Captain's crew. The Pirate Captain becomes the most wanted pirate of them all, and his crew presents him with a makeshift Pirate of the Year award. Queen Victoria is cornered by the rare animals she was planning to eat, some of which look very hungry. Black Bellamy's Pirate of the Year Award is revoked by The Pirate King, though it's not clear why. It's implied that Black Bellamy was 2nd behind the Pirate Captain, so when the Pirate Captain was disqualified, Bellamy got the award. Now that the Captain's pardon has been revoked by the Queen and he's the most wanted pirate on Blood Island, the award is once again rightfully his. Alternatively, the Pirate King just really doesn't approve of snitching... |

What the Hell, Hero?: Zig-zagged when the Pirate Captain catches Darwin stealing Polly. At first he's furious and demands an explanation, but when Darwin confesses that he's trying to win over a girl, the Pirate Captain instantly softens up and is willing to help him. Then he learns that the girl in question is Victoria and reacts as one would expect him to. Ultimately, he forgives Darwin. The crew also has one when The Pirate Captain sold Polly for Victorias gold. The crew never really cared about the award and left when they found out that their beloved dodo is gone. Even Number Two leaves him behind with disappointment in his face and voice. |

Historical In-Joke: The Pirate Captain tries to refuse Darwin joining the crew due to his "nose being too big for his face." Darwin almost got refused his position on his historic expedition because the captain, a firm believer in physiognomy, thought Darwin's nose meant he was lazy. The captain also suggests that Darwin grow a beard to help even out his face. Darwin took the advice to heart evidently.◊ (Before that of course, Charles gets a temporary beard of Vinegar-Baking Soda foam.) |

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything |
| The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists / int_ee7ed46e |
comment |
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The Pirate Captain's crew consistently fails to board a ship worth stealing from, though not for lack of trying. It's implied that they have engaged in actual piracy in the past, though; one of them says his favorite bit about being a pirate is the looting. (Plus, they've been at this for over twenty years; they must have been doing something to stay in the black.) In the end, they do manage to steal one very valuable thing — Polly, who the captain had sold to Queen Victoria for all the gold in London Tower — and even sink a ship in the process. Also, since the Pirate King had confiscated The Pirate Captain's gold when he was discharged, one can assume that he got that one back at the end as well. |

Dark Reprise: "Rule Britannia," which triumphantly opens the film and returns in an ominous form whenever Victoria's up to no good. |

His Name Really Is "Barkeep": He signs his name as 'Pirate Captain' on the Pirate of the Year entry form. |

Love Makes You Evil: Darwin's pursuit of Victoria drives him to do some rather unheroic things. He gets better. |

Darkest Hour |
| The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists / int_f91d1d4f |
comment |
Darkest Hour: After Black Bellamy outs the Captain as a fraud when the Captain is about to accept his long-sought-after reward, The Pirate King confiscated his treasure and equipment while removing his status as a pirate. And after he tells his crew he sold Polly for the treasure, they abandon him. The Captain is left alone and with nothing, and all he can do is go to Darwin's house and at least find Polly...only for her to already be gone. |

When Number Two does the pep talk, he also says that a true pirate loves stabbing people to which Pirate Captain nods and agrees that he really enjoys that. |

The Dog Bites Back |
| The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists / int_fb3576b2 |
comment |
The Dog Bites Back: A literal example of this trope; Polly finally escapes from Victoria by pecking her in the eye. The endangered species Victoria was going to have cooked and eaten are trying to eat her as she dangles from a tree at the end. Darwin is the one who opens the shaft that Victoria gets knocked down in the climax. |

The crew also has one when The Pirate Captain sold Polly for Victorias gold. The crew never really cared about the award and left when they found out that their beloved dodo is gone. Even Number Two leaves him behind with disappointment in his face and voice. |

comment |
Brick Joke: Several: "We could have made that with a good wind behind us, except for that dirty great sea monster in the way". The best thing about the airship being that it allows its users to look down women's tops. (Bowdlerised in the American version to being a "chick magnet" instead.) When recapping his exploits to Jane Austen, the Pirate Captain recounts an anecdote that indicates a shark could beat a Dracula, suggesting she turn it into a book. Later, during the raid on the Q.V.1, a pair of guards discuss Austen’s new book, Frankenstein vs. the Jellyfish. When depressed about being mocked at the Pirate of the Year Award signups, The Pirate Captain makes a crack about "getting into baby clothes" instead. Guess what he's doing after being cast out of pirate society? |

Darwin's first scene has him writing in his journal about discovering a new species of barnacle and generally being all Darwin-ish, then he says this; "I'll never get a girlfriend. I am so unhappy." |

Shown Their Work: The meeting place of the Royal Society closely resembles Somerset House, where the group really was based at the time of the film. A subtle example, but quite impressive for a film that indulges in Anachronism Stew. |
