Title: Wallace and Gromit!
Post by: Blitz on March 12, 2005, 12:46:47 am
I remember staying up late at night and flipping channels when off of a sudden... WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM! A Wallace and Gromit film was on! It was so funny! I love it! Slashdot.org is reporting that sometime this October that a film will be released called that "Wererabbit." I can't wait!

Wallace and Gromit..damn, it's a long time since I saw that. I remember "the wrong trousers" is the best, though the one where they go to the moon because they are out of cheese is also good.

I remember the one where there was this penguin who thought he was a chicken, I'm not sure if it was in one of the movies you listed, but I found it entertaining to know that a penguin is able to survive in Clay-mation England and act like a chicken without being picked-on.

I have no understanding whatsoever as to why people like these stop-motion characters. The animation is pretty bad, as i remember, like Bob the Builder, or those Chevron Cars they use in ads.

meh.

I almost got work experience with the wallace and Gromet boys, they are based just a few minutes walk from my house! (the one when they go to the moon is called "a grand day out" )
Chicken run (their first feature) was awesome, so i wouldn't be surprised if this is a real treat, its certainly been in the works for a long long time.

Well it isn't meant to be photorealistic moss, however in animation terms id like to see people create models that good, and the animation in terms of "characterisation" is second to none in my view - few animation houses can claim such sucess in the creation of such distinct and emphatic characters.

so id say pretty bad no..., some of the best model animation around yes.

ps.. blitz if you liked that you should see the Shorts that Aardman did for British Gas  and the "creature comforts" - they were simply brilliant.

Penguin who puts a rubber glove over his head to disguise himself as a chicken? yeah thats the wrong trousers (he is a diamond thief and steals the robotic trousers and wallace in his evil plan! ;) )

Wish i could brutha - but i havn't got a chance now, they are just two big - i think they only even start to consider the very best of post grads now! :(

There still running new creature comforts now again on ITV. Aardman animation is one of the best, if not the best.

There were a load of short storys by aardman on http://www.atomfilms.com/af/spotlight/collections/aardman/ like Cracking Contraptions or something, they host a whole load of other aardman shorts on there.

Anyone watched the angry kid series, thats aardman aswell, some of the smalls are hilarious. http://www.atomfilms.com/af/spotlight/series/angrykid2/
