The quest will take the Captain (Hugh Grant) and his crew from the shores of Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian in London.


Ian Whitlock, the company's key animator told Fox News on how animators at their company used 3D printers to generate different forms of mouths for a number of characters within the film.

"We built about 8,000 mouths. For the Pirate Captain model, we made 257 separate mouths. For someone like Charles Darwin, we probably had about 130 mouths." said by Whitlock.

According to Rich Brown, Senior Editor at CNET, told Fox News: "The layers build up in liquid form. The material solidifies as it prints out each layer, and the end result is a 3D object in real life".
