Early Man movie review: primordial goop
A huge disappointment, crude and simple compared to Aardman’s earlier, more sophisticated and multilayered work. No satire or subversion, just a bog-standard triumph-of-the-underdog story.
Aardman
Boy & the World movie review: urban chaos and color
Paints an impressionistic canvas of unease and disquiet, of hope and wonder, filled with glorious music. Magical… though sometimes it’s black magic.
Shaun the Sheep Movie movie review: sheep in the city
Charming in that gloriously detailed Aardman way, but with its simple slapstick humor, it’s strictly for the littlest tykes.
Doctor Who thing of the day: if Aardman had created the Doctor…
Doctor Wallace and K9 Gromit?
The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!/Band of Misfits (review)
Implies that science! and scientists! could be fun! and adventurous! Oh noes, the kiddies! Brainwashed into thinking science is awesome! Who shall protect them from such horrors?
question of the day: Which ‘Pirates!’ subtitle do you prefer: “Misfits” or “Scientists”?
Isn’t The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! way zanier and infinitely more awesome than The Pirates! Band of Misfits?
Arthur Christmas (review)
Is there sweet? Absolutely. But it is cut with funny: sometimes wicked, sometimes manic, often hysterical, always clever funny. And a whole lotta poignant, too.
please with the Justin Bieber make it stop, Arthur Christmas Edition, thank you
I saw Arthur Christmas last weekend and really liked it but that might be because Justin Bieber had yet to warble all over it.

I might not have to hate this Christmas movie.
The Pirates! Band of Misfits (trailer)
Aardman is taking on pirates? I am so there.
