  1. With 'The Pirates! Band of Misfits,' the treasure's in the details

    Maniacally inventive and tightly packed, if not overpacked, "The Pirates! Band of Misfits" comes from the Aardman animation folks behind Wallace & Gromit, "Chicken Run" and, more recently, "Arthur Christmas." Their latest may be easier to admire than to love; it's more tone-funny and incidental-muttered-aside funny than, for example, your average DreamWorks smash, where every other comic beat ends with a cartoon animal getting bashed in the nethers and then quoting some inappropriate gangster movie.

  4. Aardman's Peter Lord explains one frame from 'The Pirates!'

    Asked to explain the Aardman Animations sensibility, asked if he could put a finger on the house style of the idiosyncratic little studio he co-founded in England 40 years ago, Peter Lord, left, dithered, then finally blurted: . There's really no other word &mdash; the man <em>dithered</em>. Then he stammered. Then he did the full Hugh Grant. Until finally, pleadingly, he blurted: &quot;I can't explain the Aardman sensibility any better than I can explain my accent!" Then, after a bit, he added: "Here, in the States, critics just tend to explain us in terms of Monty Python."
