Pirates: Adventures in Art

The Pirates have been invited to visit Crazy Castle - or else dire consequences may result! The Castle is rumoured to be inhabited by a Phantom who makes people see things that aren’t there. Queen Conformia wants his castle as the flagship for her Gray Castle hamburger chain.

Conformia wants to destroy a sacred goblet which could prove Cleo is the true Queen! A chance encounter with a potter named Aoloani leads the pirates to learn about pottery-making from clay.

Leo, Cleo and Fresco with the help of their friend Claude Beret learn how impressionism is all about capturing the feeling of something rather than the reality of it.

Our heroes learn that art can be made from anything, with the right resources and a little imagination. They trick Pirate hunter Captain Driftnet who Krank has hired to capture them into thinking the legendary Great White Tuna has come to avenge his actions toward fish - except the ‘Tuna’ is really made of old lawn chairs and other things the Pirates salvaged!

Every high school student’s favorite social studies project - the diorama - is the focus of the Pirates after they see Skelly has built one in a bottle. The diorama they build becomes a trap for Krank, who has shrunk everybody down with this Shrinkerizer.

The Pirates go down on the farm to visit Ol’ Madcap Lewis! Conformia sends Krank to Lewis’ farm in the hopes of getting some cream for her bathtub from the farmer’s cow, Biscuit. The only problem is: Biscuit is a BULL! And he doesn’t like being called a cow!

The Pirates hear of the Legend of the Grandfather Tree, which states people can be turned into wooden statues! They see lots of wooden statues, but they were all carved by their friend Frances. When Krank arrives on the island and tries to capture them, they use Frances’ skill at carving to make him think the legend is real.
