β€œArrgh! Come ye scurvy shipmates, come and watch this film! This film is the best English film ever! It’s absolutely hilarious.

This film is about a Pirate Captain who wants to be Pirate of the Year. When he discovers that his parrot is a dodo he goes to London to sell her.

The film is jam-packed with hilarious jokes on Charles Darwin, science, Queen Victoria, pirates and lots more. Aardman have just made (what I believe) is the best English film ever. The film is no doubt 5 stars.”
