PIRATES! (Pirates! Band of Misfits, The) (USA, 2012) Animation
My opinion: Technically, very estimable animated film with endearing plasticine puppets ... but on the ground of the argument I have to say that I found too childish. His humor, the most important thing in these movies, is naive, with some good moments, but led, I fear, to the little ones, a fact in itself is not negative, but in the eyes of an adult and I just knowing very little. Anyway, it's entertaining and the pace is fast, but it is also true that not too imaginative or fantasy story wasteful. The situations are coming and everything is too light. Anyway, that's not bad as a spectacle, but we must be rather small to enjoy it fully. If not ... well be seen and not going much further.
