Review #57 | The Pirates! Band of Misfits

I wish Aardman would make more films but with better story. This unique style of animation struggles to find the fitting story that will make the film soar.

The Pirates! Band of Misfits, 2012
In The Pirates! Band of Misfits, Hugh Grant stars in his first animated role as the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain - a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award. It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they battle a diabolical queen (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a haplessly smitten young scientist (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!
The stop motion picture that Aardman team has done in this film is amazing and makes you wonder how they do it. It gets better and much cleaner than their previous attempts. In contrast, I think their losing their touch in great story telling because the jokes and plots are exaggerated beyond repair.

It gives enough humor to entertain little kids but never does entertain those who want to see some real heart. It may not have a great story, but it does have its strong points. The characters are not strong or unique.

If there is one thing I would want to compliment, it would be the magical animated beauty. Those clay-made characters seem to have found life through the hands of great creators. If only they could find a great story that fits this medium, Aardman will have found the way to go into the big leagues.

Cute TV ad Made in Aardman Animations

"Creative communications agency Bray Leino has partnered with Aardman animations to produce the latest TV campaign for iglü." (Little Black Book). Take a look at this admirable penguin TV ad created by Steve Harding-Hill from Aardman Animations.

iglü Gel and iglü Rapid Relief Gel provide fast, effective relief from mouth ulcers by forming a long-lasting shelter over them. This sticks in place to soothe the pain, keep the ulcer protected and help it heal. 
“We had great fun creating the simplicity and the charm of this new iglü mouth ulcer gel spot. We went for a traditional 2D drawn animation to bring to life to our hapless penguin and then combined this with painted textured multilane backdrops, animated in the computer to create his strange rotating arctic world. It was a real joy to be able to do something so sweet, characterful and surreal.”_Steve Harding-Hill.

Review #16 | Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

I have wanted to revisit the world of clay animation and have watched this movie. There is something special in this art form. It gives different effects than CG animation. Revisiting the world of Wallace & Gromit was magical.

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, 2005
Eccentric inventor Wallace (voice of Peter Sallis) and his faithful if often perplexed dog Gromit are back in their first feature-length adventure from animator Nick Park. Wallace and Gromit have launched a new business venture just in time for a major gardening competition in their neighborhood of West Wallaby. "Anti-Pesto" is a humane pest-relocation service in which Wallace and Gromit capture rabbits and other critters who have been eating the produce from local gardens and give them new homes somewhere else. Business has been going well, and when the woman hosting the garden show, Lady Tottington (voice of Helena Bonham Carter), discovers a massive tribe of rabbits has been making a mess of her garden, she calls in Wallace and Gromit to move the bunnies elsewhere. Wallace is quite taken with Lady Tottington, but he's not the only one -- Victor Quartermaine (voice of Ralph Fiennes) is a slick but arrogant upper-class type who wants to win Lady Tottington's hand (and fortune) and is convinced he can do a better job capturing the rabbits than Wallace. However, Wallace's attempts to brainwash the rabbits away from veggies using his latest invention has disastrous results, and soon Wallace has to deal with a beastly bunny as well as a heavily-armed Quartermaine. Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit followed Park's previous film with the duo, A Close Shave, by ten years, and was produced after Park broke through to mainstream success with the feature Chicken Run.
I loved how the movie was set up. Everything was handmade and looked cozy. They creators really built a strong story. Maybe it’s just me, but the running time was a little bit longer than it needed to be. I don’t know why, but I always dose off last fifteen minutes of the movie.

Even though they have same qualities Aardman Animation and LIAKA have different styles of animation. I'm more into LIAKA but Aardman Animation is the studio that is perfect for everyone to watch. Comedy and suspicion was a good approach to dressing this movie.

All in all Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was enjoyable, family-friendly animated film.
