	Trailer 2: The Pirates! Band of Misfits Oh, I guess we can't make leper jokes, but it's ok to make ghost jokes? I'll have you know that some of my best friends are jokes.
	Trailer 2: The Pirates! Band of Misfits I find this trailer to be suspiciously brown for a movie about the high seas, but it looks like it'll be a fun family film regardless. I approve!
	The Pirates! Band of Misfits Trailer Aardman Animation gets back to what it's known best for: quality stop motion animation. This time, with pirates!
