THE PIRATES! BAND OF MISFITS Debuts New Poster

Here is a new poster for Sony Pictures Animation's upcoming The Pirates! Band of Misfits. The film is from the same team that did Chicken Run and features the voices of Hugh Grant, Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russel Tovey, Ashley Jensen, Jeremy Piven, and Salma Hayek. The film is set for release on April 27th in the US.

Here is the description:

The Pirates! stars Hugh Grant as the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain – a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award. It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they battle a diabolical queen (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a haplessly smitten young scientist (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!

The voice cast seems kind of random, but I think it will be good. I never really liked Chicken Run, but this looks like more fun. Watch the trailer, and share your thoughts.
