See the films the platforms disagree about most →The Pirate Captain, while enthusiastic, has never won the coveted "Pirate of the Year" award. Desperate for recognition, he and his quirky crew embark on a series of misadventures to plunder enough treasure to impress the judges. Their fortunes seem to change when they capture a ship carrying Charles Darwin, who informs the Captain that his beloved parrot, Polly, is actually the last living Dodo, a priceless scientific treasure. This discovery leads them into a conflict with the villainous Queen Victoria, who also desires the bird.
