The Pirates! Band of Misfits on Blu-ray delivers an outstanding 1080p/MVC encode with impeccable detail, vibrant colors, and exceptional black levels, though the 3D presentation lacks significant visual impact beyond minor effects. Both 2D and 3D transfers exhibit superb clarity, but 3D fails to elevate the experience meaningfully.

Audio: 61

The Pirates! Band of Misfits Blu-ray delivers a stellar DTS-HD MA 5.1 track, featuring vivid and precise dialogue, impactful bass, and impressive dynamic range, though rear speaker engagement is limited; overall, it provides a richly detailed and immersive audio experience, perfectly complementing the animated action.

Extra: 57

The Pirates! Band of Misfits Blu-ray extras offer a mix of engaging content for various audiences, featuring a detailed yet dry commentary by the director and team, technical featurettes like 'From Stop to Motion' and 'Creating the Bath Chase Sequence,' several short films, fun games, and digital copies.

Movie: 67

The Pirates! Band of Misfits provides good, clean family fun with stop-motion animation that shines in intricate detail, despite lackluster 3D. Featuring a ragtag crew led by Hugh Grant's charming Pirate Captain, the film is a riotous, underdog adventure filled with heartwarming humor and educational hijinks.
