"Wallace & Groumit" is one of my favorite English films. I bought this DVD at HMV in Downtown(used to be Virgin Record). It was priced 2 for $30 as a X'mas sale and I got it with another DVD which is about Ray Charles. "Wallace & Groumit" is a clay animation in which all the characters are made of clay dolls and the making staff takes the picture flame by flame, gradually moving the clay characters. We can easily expect that it requires a very long time and much patience to take just a few minute cuts of it. As the result of their effort, the art of work looks very good. It has a kind of taste which the latest CG films do not have. For example, the texture of Wallace's cardigan and the Groumit's skin have some burrs or finger prints. They are not defects but work for adding warm taste to the film. It is literally a handmade movie.
