Whitlock mentioned that "in all about 7,000 mouths were made for the film, with about 250 of them being just for the Pirate Captain himself.

The Nokia N8 has been used in the making of the world's smallest stop motion character animation. Certified by the Book of Guinness World Records, the animation was created by Aardman Animation. In an ambitious project, they combined the might of the Nokia N8's image capture ability with the concept behind Professor Fletcher's invention of the CellScope.
The stop motion film is shot entirely on the new Nokia N8, and aims to showcase the Carl Zeiss optics and its 12-megapixel photography capabilities. They managed to place three phones elevated some 36 meters above the ground on a cherry picker on a beach in South Wales, in the UK, to cover a canvas of 42 meters x 24 meters... Basically creating the "World's Largest Stop-motion Animation".
