The pirate captain has over 250 mouths.

8. VOICE RECORDING Hugh Grant does the voice of the ‘Pirate Captain’.
Martin Freeman does the voice of the ‘Pirate with a Scarf’ and David Tennent does the voice of ‘Charles Darwin’.
It takes months or years to not use the words and pictures on a piece of paper.
They have a session with actors and they do the taking.
The Actors have to try and be the characters.
For years they just had it on paper, but then the actors brought it to life.

They always knew they would need a ship in water although it was in a studio completely dry.
 Andy Morley was the visual TV supervisor and Chris King was a CG supervisor.

They bobbled the colour until they put it together.
They don't move the ship the move the camera so it looked like it was moving.
Benjamin Toogood was the CGI Supervisor, and Pod McFull was the Fix Supervisor.

12. SOUND You have to get the footprints (for the characters) perfectly.
Audrey Morris is the Sound Director.
People get paid to shout in the background for the film.

13. MUSIC For the music they have an orchestra .
There are a lot of people in the orchestra .
The music is an important part of the film because it sets a ‘vibe’ for the scene.
