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.

Harry the Hook can be seen in the audience of the Pirate of the Year Awards as he joins in with the festivities, but makes a more significant appearance in ‘The Pirates!’ mini-movie, ‘So You Want To Be A Pirate!’ where he is struck down with ‘Lubbermatosis’ – a disorder that robs pirates of the ability to cry ‘Yarr!’ Poor Harry is put through a series of intense remedies, including rolling on a pile of electric eels and being sat on by the burly Pirate King, leaving him with a bandaged arm and black eye! His clothing is foam latex, with silicone skin on his hands and grubby feet. His head, hair and polka-dot bandana are resin with plasticine around his eyes for maximum expression. Harry features an interchangeable mouthpiece made from ‘Rapid Prototyped’ resin, with the reference ‘HTH 20 05’ marked inside his head. His entire body has been built around an intricate steel skeleton allowing for him to be posed and animated. This puppet is a fantastic example of the tremendous detail that has gone into creating each character within this great stop-motion picture, and is accompanied by five electric eels, all made in silicone with a metal armature within, from 'So You Want To Be A Pirate!'. The set remains in excellent production used condition and including a stand for Harry, with the puppet measuring approximately 31cm (12.25”) tall with the stand measuring approximately 13.5x12.5cm (5.25x4.75”) around the base and each of the eels measuring 15.5cm (6.5”) in length.

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!
