* CloudCuckoolander: Bert, the Australian pirate who clearly isn't right in the head and loves blowing things up. According to the episode "Father Time" the reason why he's like that is because of a event he calls "the big bang" in which he attempted a space mission that resulted in his spaceship blowing up upon launch and splitting him in two.

''Pirate Express'' is an Australian-Canadian animated series produced by Creator/AtomicCartoons and Sticky Pictures Ltd. that aired on Creator/{{Teletoon}}. All 26 episodes of the series aired in 2015 '''''for a single week''''', with the show then being taken off the air without any further word. On the other hand, it also aired on [[Creator/NineNetwork 9Go!]] in Australia.
The show stars Newt, the 12-year-old son of Poseidon, who one day discovers a strange ship in a bottle in his father's office in Atlantis. The ship is in fact a miniaturized version of a real pirate ship belonging to a gang of pirates who had attempted to rob the god of the sea three hundred years ago. The pirates were imprisoned with their ship as punishment, but are also still alive centuries later. Of course, Newt accidentally breaks the bottle and frees the pirates along with their ship. To save the bumbling buccaneers from his father's wrath, Newt makes himself the captain of their ship, which he rechristens Pirate Express, to the chagrin of the crew's original captain Henri De [=LaPoutine=]. Now it's up to Newt to teach his motley crew of sea dogs that there's more to life than plundering treasure as they sail the globe in search for adventure and cause plenty of high seas havoc in the process.
