Some of the best stop-motion animation ever.


Aardman has always delivered animation-wise, they are pretty much the best stop motion animators around. Not really with how the puppets look, but their movement. It's so fluent, I sometimes wonder if it's CG, but it CAN'T be, because you can't create the textures these puppets have with a computer, it looks organic.

This film is probably the best showcase of what they can achieve with puppets, it's mind blowing. The film itself is a fun little thing, I expected it to be much "kiddier", it's VERY well written, I was genuinely entertained, both by the humor and the story, but mostly by how amazing the animation looked and how detailed the sets were. This is legit a great movie.

I agree.

I love stop-motion animation. I'm not sure why all animated film must be computer animated. I believe all forms of animation can be successful if the story behind it is good.

It's really great, animation wise, writing wise, and not aimed just at children, but pretty timeless in what it's trying to do and say. Aardman at their best.
