Although I can understand why the visual elements and everything that went into creating the two films we saw would make it what it was, it personally didn't do anything for me.
I can admire what went into creating the film and the different effects, but I didn't find them very entertaining. The films didn't really do anything for me, neither the hedgehog or the wolf. Rather than being intrigued into watching it I felt myself sitting there thinking "When is it going to be over?"
Stop-motion is not a favorable style of mine overall so I don't really know that I could properly speak on these films. Some of the more uber complex stop-motion like Paranorman and Coraline I enjoy, other types not as much, you could say I'm very picky about my stop-motion enjoyment.
I didn't really get anything out of the films, whether that is from the visual style or overall story-telling style I'm not sure, but I didn't feel too great about either films.
I can't lie, I love stop-motion. And you forgot to mention Wallace and Gromit !!! ...just kidding, that's OK.
ReplyDeleteBut I do identify with your feelings towards these films... while I found their style to be quite unique and interesting, nothing else really grabbed my attention. The characters were just kinda blah.
Oh I love Wallace and Gromit, I did forget to mention them lol. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was kinda iffy on the films.
