The Skyrates (Extended title: The Skyrates: In a Band of Misadventures with Ponies, Transformers and Mr Men) is a flash animated movie made by Black Rhino Ranger (BRR for Short, BRRGames on Youtube and BRRSpore on Wikia). This movie is a crossover between Skylanders, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Transformers, the Mr Men and many others. Unlike most of BRR's animations, this animation was first released as a two parter but was later converted to a full 22-minute film.
Story[]
Part 1[]
Spyro and his team plan to win Pirate of the Year. Although they failed a lot of times before but Spyro is sure to have his team win this time. They were raiding some ships along their way to Pirate Island. Spyro wrote his entry, but as soon as the other pirate teams came in, Spyro threw it away. The other pirates realized he was entering Pirate of the Year and they laughed at him. Spyro then changes his mind about quitting and heads back to the ship to prepare for the award. In the morning, Spyro raids a few ships but they turned out to be useless ships as they have no gold. Spyro was feeling miserable at his desk, but he was then raided by other pirates.
Part 2[]
Spyro and his crew were captured and tied up by evil pirates led by Kaos. They plan to be Pirate of the year as well but instead of entering for it, they plan to steal it. Spyro tries to contact the legendaries but his phone was disabled. They couldn't break free because the bad guys took away their powers and weapons. The baddies then force Fluttershy to walk the plank. As she falls, all of the sudden, there was no splash. It turns out, the legendaries came due to Spyro's phone signal. They freed the Skylanders, Ponies, Transformers and Mr Men so they can fight the enemy pirates. Many are defeated and some have retreated, they raided Kaos' boat and went back to Pirate Bay. Kaos was then chased by a crocodile and some seagulls.
The Skylanders win the award, other pirates cheered while others were jealous.
Difference between versions[]
The first version of the Skyrates was seperated to two parts while the second version was converted to one movie with some additional scenes. However, the full version excludes the Drunken Sailor songs (Both Paddy and the Rats and Spongebob Squarepants versions) as they were used for the "To be continued" scene.
