Prop Store is proud to present an exclusive offering of ‘The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists’ stop motion puppets, props and set pieces from Aardman and Sony Pictures Animation.

Elizabeth is featured in the audience of the Royal Society Event and can also be seen in London pub ‘The Hook, Line & Sinker’, as the Pirate Captain celebrates his scientific victory! Elizabeth’s dress has been made from foam latex and displays intricate detailing around the collar and sleeves. Her skin and hair are silicone with plasticine around her pose-able eyes. She features a removable mouthpiece made from ‘Rapid Prototyped’ resin with the reference ‘Elizabeth 04 06’ written inside of her head; this would have been alternated by puppeteers. Her upper body can be animated via an intricate internal metal armature and her elaborate dress is secured to a resin base, allowing for her to be positioned securely throughout filming. She is accompanied by a small mechanism tool to adjust her skirt, although it is currently unclear how this would have been used. Caroline is presented on a bespoke display stand and remains in outstanding condition. She measures approximately 30cm (11.75”) in height with the stand measuring approximately 17x18cm (6.75x7.25”) around the base.

Please note: Customers completing a purchase for this artefact, hereby agree that it will not be replicated or used in any other film or television production. These items should be carefully handled and treated with a degree of respect to ensure a long lasting life after their retirement from plundering the high seas!

In The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, 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 and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter 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 do battle with the pirate-hating Queen Victoria and team up with a young Charles Darwin, but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!
