20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends
reunite when one of them becomes hellbent on trying the drinking
marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by Gary King, a
40-year-old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his
reluctant pals to their hometown and once again attempts to reach the
fabled pub - The World’s End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and
present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just
theirs but humankind’s. Reaching The World’s End is the least of their
worries.

Synopsis: In The Pirates! Band of Misfits, Hugh Grant stars in his first animated role 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!
