Members Super 8 Posted August 19, 2005 Members Posted August 19, 2005 I find it hard not to get excited about this. It's a good thing I have a four year old to take with me, or I'd have to go to the theater by myself! Behold! The Curse of the Were-Rabbit! Clonk to view the 'cracking' trailer!
Members zeronyne Posted August 19, 2005 Members Posted August 19, 2005 Man, the attention to detail on W & G is amazing. The wallpaper, especially. I have all of the others on DVD.
Members Shars Posted August 19, 2005 Members Posted August 19, 2005 WOW!! I have to go and see this! It looks fantastic
Members blackpig Posted August 19, 2005 Members Posted August 19, 2005 Oh good. I like a bit of Wensleydale!
Members Spencer Crewe Posted August 19, 2005 Members Posted August 19, 2005 I have GOT to see that..... I've been a W and G fan for ten years. The first time I saw "The Wrong Trousers" was on a flight from Toronto to St. John's. I've never laughed so hard whilst in flight in my life. Pure genius. From then on, I've been hooked. Cheers!Spencer
Members Base Posted August 19, 2005 Members Posted August 19, 2005 Aardman Animation Studios is in my hometown. I keep meaning to see if they do a tour for when I visit, I'll get around to it at some point....

Members phaeton Posted August 19, 2005 Members Posted August 19, 2005 It's a good thing I have a four year old to take with me, or I'd have to go to the theater by myself! Four year old? I just turned 31 and I'm taking my gf to go see it. We don't need no stinkin' four year olds! Can't wait!
Members Super 8 Posted August 19, 2005 Author Members Posted August 19, 2005 Originally posted by zeronyne Man, the attention to detail on W & G is amazing. Yes, it's pretty incredible. Nick Parks does amazing things with his creatures. What's really amazing is that claymation is a dead artform. Who does this stuff anymore? It's all about CG now, right? Even Disney laid off many of their animators -a childhood friend of mine being one of them. So the idea that someone can make a claymation movie and get it onto the big screen is quite a feat. I first saw The Wrong Trousers back when it came out. It had won some awards, and PBS put it on one night along with some behind the scenes footage. My wife was with me -in fact, I think she may have been my girlfriend at the time- and we were both blown away. I've loved them ever since. And now my kids love them too.
Members Robman2 Posted August 19, 2005 Members Posted August 19, 2005 YESSSSSSSSS.............. The four year olds can stay home....I'll go, I'll go...me, me , me... How cool. R
Members Greg Bogoshian Posted August 20, 2005 Members Posted August 20, 2005 I have their previous collection as well and Chicken Run... Love their work at Aardman!!!

Members phaeton Posted August 24, 2005 Members Posted August 24, 2005 You know, it never occured to me to mention that my primary computer at home is named "wallace": wallace# uname -a FreeBSD wallace.phaetonamplification.org 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #2: Thu Jul 28 21:51:09 CDT 2005 phaeton@wallace.phaetonamplification.org:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/WALLACE i386 My other machine, the K6-II that used to be my primary workstation, is called Gromit (and then there's Servo, Crow and Gypsy, but that's all a different story and i have to keep them in the basement)
Members Counterpoint Posted August 24, 2005 Members Posted August 24, 2005 Add me to the fan club. I wasn't thrilled with Chicken Run, but the W&G shorts have been amazing. I love when they go to the Moon looking for cheese.
