Pirating advice (So You Want to be a Pirate? review)

I’m so pleased the toddler is beginning to like things other than Thomas. I was scared for my sanity but lately we’ve been enjoying episodes of all kinds of things and he was happy to watch So You Want to be a Pirate? the latest offering from Aardman and Sony Pictures Animation.

Need to remember where you buried your treasure? Want to learn the secrets of navigating winds or learn how to cook  delicious giant squid with lemon?

This is non-stop family fun! Featuring the voices of Hugh Grant, Martin Freeman, David Tenant and Brendan Gleeson, it’s a great introduction for would-be Pirates!  Watch as the Pirate Captain, and his trusty sidekick dodo Polly, tells you all you need to know about being a Pirate.

Released on DVD Exclusively with Tesco stores this short stop-motion animation will get you in the mood for the release of The Pirates! in an Adventure with the Scientists on September 10. The DVD also includes extras – including How To Animate Your Pirate, How To Draw A Pirate, How To Talk Like a Pirate and Printable Colouring Pages. The DVD runs for 17 minutes and has a RRP £5.00.
