"Aardman Animations: Creating the magic of stop-motion" (video)

The animation wizards behind Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep are back with a sequel to their 2000 hit feature, "Chicken Run." Correspondent Seth Doane visits the Bristol, England studios of Aardman Animations, where artists have painstakingly filmed "Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget," a comic adventure in which daredevil chickens seek to rescue their precious hen from a dastardly factory farm. (Think "Chicken: Impossible.")

I hope this is a big hit for them & they can afford to buy the factory that makes the clay they use & keep it operating.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

wow, superb result. I can imagine how hard it was to edit something like this. I alone have a YouTube sash and I post different edits, and I know how important a good video editing software for pc is

I don't know that the kids ever saw any 'Wallace and Gromit', but they sure liked the first 'Chicken Run' and 'Pirates! Band of Misfits'.

I like stop-motion animation. It's a real labour of love.

^ Yeah, stop-motion is super neat. I loved Gumby and Celebrity Death Match as a kid (pretty drastic tonal difference there, my parents didn't really like me watching the latter lol). It ain't great but Clay Fighters was interesting too.

It's weird that with better technology games and movies all look the same now, not much tries to be unique like that anymore, it's all CG and stuff.

Ooh. I should see if 'Adventures of Mark Twain' is streaming anywhere for next time I go out to Dakota. I saw 'Adventures of Mark Twain' on the big screen when I was little. That's one weird flick.
