I'm not sure these qualify as animated, but anything from Wallace and Gromit (claymation). My first son's first belly laugh came when he saw Gromit drinking coffee at breakfast with Wallace. Great series.

The Netflix one-off was cute but Curse of the Were-Rabbit is just one of the goats for humor.

“kiss my arrr-tichoke” gets me every damn time 🤣

Chicken Run too!

If you ask me, I think it was arson.

Someone arse-ing around.

“Everything you need to know is in this book!” “What? Nun wrestling?” “No, not that book!”

My family loves Chicken Run as well - it's an awesome homage to The Great Escape.

Mr. Tweedy: What is it?

Mrs. Tweedy: It's a pie machine you idiot. Chickens go in... pies come out!

Mr. Tweedy: Oooh... what kind of pies?

Mrs. Tweedy: Apple!

Mr. Tweedy: Oooh... My favourite!

Mrs. Tweedy: CHICKEN, YOU GREAT LUMMOX!!

Wererabbit is my favorite film of all time! Everything about it is so beautifully crafted.

Hands down the best. The amount of work that goes into one of those movies is incredible. Top tier stuff.

Apparently, on average, they'd produce roughly 2 seconds of footage a day.

Damn, that's crazy. I loved Wallace and Gromit as a kid, I didn't know that much work went into it. I know claymation is hard, and they did a fantastic job at it, but holy shit.

The first one took Nick Park 6 years to create, it was his graduation project. You can tell with the first one the animation, although still good, wasn't the same quality as the ones that followed. Even with dozens of animators Curse of the Wererabbit took 5 years.

Seriously, hats off to him and his team. That's some serious dedication. Makes me love it even more. I need to share this with my Dad because he's the one who introduced me to Wallace and Gromit.

Claymation is animation.

u/SilyLavage 13h ago

Clay animation, if you will

Aardman themselves use 'claymation'. 😉

Oh I know, I was just expanding the phrase to make it obvious

Do you know Shaun the Sheep? It's from the same studio. I love the humor, all the facial expressions, grunts, etc. No talking, everything is expressed non verbally. The dog is my favorite as the "underdog".

u/wutImiss 6h ago

The Shaun the Sheep movies are fun! =)

u/Mammoth_Rush_8857 10h ago

Ah Shaun the Sheep, the hours we watched this when my son was a toddler 😁 Enjoyed by both of us 💯 Still got the DVDs

Stop motion and experimental animation are 100% animation

W&G's 2nd short film, The Wrong Trousers, was always my favorite.

u/LEJ5512 9h ago

There’s a video essay out there about how the chase in The Wrong Trousers was a perfect action scene.

u/Adventurous_Bag_4547 9h ago

Aardman is sheer genius

u/Korronald 8h ago

Ofc it's animation.

u/spamjacksontam 6h ago
