Bristol-based animation banner Aardman is going to alter a scene in its upcoming stop motion 3D pic The Pirates! Band Of Misfits in the wake of objections from leprosy groups including Lepra Health In Action and the International Federation of Anti-Leprosy Associations.

IMO, the scene in question (if you can call a clip that lasts all of about 5 seconds) was tame by most movie standards when it comes to the portrayal of diseases/illnesses etc, so the people who complained are obviously complaining for the sake of it.

Admittedly, I did laugh during this trailer, but then again, whenever you see the words "from the makers of Wallace & Gromit", you know its going to be funny. I think that this is one movie I'll be marking down to see.

@GarethGazzGravey1 Maybe they should replace that scene at the end of the movie during the credits? So you going to see this movie?

I really don't think that was a news worthy story. Christians did not like Harry Potter either, I saw everyone of them. I am not nor was I then a practicing witch.

@yllekr123 Maybe it's not news worthy story but it does show how PC this world has become.

its sad how one person can ruin it because you are not happy with a product its like a communist thing its sad this the land of the free but in reality that saying is fading away so fast its just a movie and im planning on taking my kid to see it

[vincentcrow]

@apolanco602 It does look like a good funny movie.

At my school we raised money for lepra and were told about this now I have seen the trailer I think there making a fuss over nothing

[RObtimusPrime1995]

I have the banned movie scene on my channel

[TheRockinRaven]

@vincentcrow Heck yeah, it looks funny. :D

@vincentcrow The people of this town dont understand Autism as those who have to deal with it on a daily basis, so going sometimes is very difficult. My boys like resturants better especially loud ones that do birthday songs n stuff where they can get up n cheer..its really cute....I should record that one day.... :-\

@vincentcrow Can they send me? I have my boots ready. :-)

[Stratboy999]

I have no problem with it, cos I don't have leprosy....selfish I know...

But altogether, Leprosy sufferers have already got a pretty raw deal without having the piss taken out of them, but that's what comedy does. Exploits peoples problems, differences etc.

If I was suffering from leprosy this might stir a bit of emotion in me. To actually go through leprosy and then watch someone make a funny about an arm falling off (which happened to you yesterday) would kind of suck. After actually reading the news story and seeing how the creators agreed to take the clip out also makes me think that it's not an OMG pc controversy. Seems like both parties agreed and had an understand. *Shrugs* No biggie.

@vincentcrow Naah. I'll wait till I can watch it free on the interwebs sometime. French fries and popcorn right by my Linux box. ;¬)

[iLivEntertainment]

It looks pretty cool

@vincentcrow If I have the money to when it hits our shores, I may just have to
