Here’s a bit of Sunday joy for you. Before my bf went to work for them, this studio put out an award winning cartoon called The Gruffalo. Way not to get eaten so far, mouse!
I love the animation and it’s a style I prefer. The tendency towards too much realism puts me off sometimes. The scenery, all that loving care and amazing detail of other shorts, these are exquisite. And the understated voice work, it’s so matter of fact and charming. I guess I needed a break from all the flash and latest FX. It deserved the Oscar it got a few years ago.
Nominated for an Oscar this year is Adam and Dog. A pre-Eve Adam and his dog, the relationship they form and how it ends up after, well, you know. NSFW – it’s Adam in his full frontal animation adaptation.
My puppy would go with me but not if I had his medication for his ear inflammation.
