The stop-motion family adventure will sail to Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D in August.
In an early announcement to retailers, Sony will be bringing 'The Pirates! Band of Misfits' to high-definition in a Blu-ray/DVD/Ultraviolet Copy on August 28.

With his trusted dodo, Polly, and a ragtag crew at his side, the Pirate Captain will need to battle a diabolical queen (Imelda Staunton), save a young scientist (David Tennant), and never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure.
