Is it just me or does the stop motion look extremely fluid here? I was just watching the old Wallace and Gromit shorts last week but even with like Paranorman I don't recall seeing stop motion ever look so smooth?

Aardman made massive improvements over the years. The result of unparalled experience, improv of tech and more money.

Always down for Aardman.

Felt like The Far Side come to life.
