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.
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.
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.
