I'm not sure how popular this genius creation is in America, cause the content of Nick Park's films are very British, but the prospect of a feature film for these outstanding character is vert exciting for me.
All films are very special to me, and sparked my major interest in animation.
A Grand day out was very good, a little below par by today's standard's, but still you can appreciate the great detail and quality of animation
The Wrong Trousers was superb, proving Park as a certifiable genius. This film simply didn't feel like an animated film, but an actual film, the cinematographic elements were excellent, Park obviously borrowing from some of Boris Carloff's films, with some of the heavy shadows.
A Close Shave was arguably the best of the three, Park wrote a consistently cohesive film, with more daring camera angles, a larger team and a larger budget.
The new addition characters were perfect for the story and the film was very funny in places.
It is really amazing to see an individual take so much pride in what are essenticallt pieces of clay, his creations - Wallace and Gromit are both perfect partners.
Wallace, although pretty pompous is intelligent, but a little absent minded, his features portray this very well.
Gromit, on the other hand, although he never makes a sound, is the most expressive of the two, his upper-brow revealing most of his emotion.
Two very well created characters.
As for the feature film, i can only be excited by the prospect, with a larger budget, a larger cast, more voice talent, and more room for Nick Park to show us his greater potential, Park already saying he has come up with a good idea.
Superb. I can't wait.
