The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! with visual elements such as sea and scenery. Peter Lord commented, "With "Pirates!," I must say that the new technology has made "Pirates!" really liberating to make, easy to make because the fact that you can shoot a lot of green screen stuff, the fact that you can easily extend the sets with CG, the fact that you can put the sea in there and a beautiful wooden boat that, frankly, would never sail in a million years, you can take that and put it into a beautiful CG scene and believe it."
