Aardman Classics [DVD]

I am quite astounded by the number of poor reviews as this is a magnificent collection of films. A uniquely British animation studios made famous for Wallace and Gromit, Aardman show us here their incredible talent for film-making. Of course I am biased, growing up with Wallace and Gromit, however I can't understand why anyone of any age wouldn't enjoy this DVD. As a big animation fan these early films show so much about early stop-motion through sometimes crude shorts yet the creativity and comedy throughout is second to none. The DVD is not just plastescene as one might assume, but includes a number of weird and wonderful CGI animations created when the platform was little known. In fact one of the funniest short films for me is 'Humdrum' a computer-animated story about two shadows who, due to boredom end up playing a game of shadow puppets. Every time I see it I cannot help but howl with laughter. Aardman Classics is a collection of British films of great character, sublime animation and will leave you chuckling for a long time after watching. This is one of my most treasured DVDs, a must for animation lovers.

Worked perfectly, picture quality was good

This is brilliant but the sound is so poor, I missed most of it! Not acceptable Mr Park - I'd like my money back and a properly recorded version, please!

Really well done like all the other Aardman productions.

This compilation of shorts, adverts and bits and pieces is a wonderful window on the early development of the studio. I'd also say to get the Rex the Runt box set too. I assume you've already got the Wallace and Gromit stuff if you're looking at this.

Always an enjoyable way to keep children and adults happy

Wife liked the old adverts. Quick delivery and well packaged. Adverts just as we remembered them.

great funny classic, used dvd like brand new
