Are They Clay?
I was just wondering because I just don't get it. Is all of the characters clay because thats what they look like.
Are U talking to me!!!!
Even when I like the film itself, the thing that really drives me nuts about Aardman/Lord/Park productions (and has bugged me since first seeing their productions nearly twenty years ago) is the character design. Specifically, the mouths on their characters. The upper teeth are always curved while the lower jaws have their teeth set in a nearly straight line. I find this so distracting that whenever I try to watch one of their films, all I can do is stare at those mismatched sets of teeth.
Yes, I know it's a cartoon, but one of the principles of design (at lead in regard to film) is to not let individual elements interfere with the story being told. Am I the only one who feels this way?
It doesn't bother me to be honest. Every now and then I notice thier faces and just think how funny they are then I laugh and carry on watching the film.
One toke? You poor fool! Wait till you see those goddamn bats.
yes you are alone. I really like the Aardman art direction in all their claymations. Its what makes them an Aardman.
