Wobblyland Wobblies Making Music

Here’s a series produced by Academy Award nominated Brown Bag Films from Dublin. It has a Mr.Men, Roobarb and Custard feel about it. Narrated by Geoffrey Palmer.

Brown Bag have been working on a new series of Noddy with Chorion. It’s about a million times better than the last Noddy series, thanks to Brown Bag’s involvement. Hopefully they’ll release some footage soon so I can feature that here!

Pedro and Frankensheep

Despite running this blog for a few months I’ve never actually posted anything about Pedro and Frankensheep here, which is a series that me and my bro worked on all last year. You can watch one episode on YouTube, or watch all of them at the CBBC website.

Morph and Chaz

Morph was one of those constants of my childhood. I really liked him and Tony Hart of course. Morph is a great comic character – he feels like an underdog, but somehow he always wins through in the end. Morph was of course the invention of Peter Lord of Aardman Animations. I remember seeing Peter Lord driving around Bristol in his old stylee Volvo. How unpretentious! I wonder if he’d approve of the F reg Subura Justy that I still have?

There are quite a few Aardman snippets to watch at their YouTube channel including this one:

Samosa in Love Triangle

Pushkin

Fantastic story about an old lady and a cat from Trevor Hardy, an animator from West Sussex, UK.

Bustykelp’s Wood Imps

While trawling YouTube yesterday I came upon this tiny bit of animation. I love it. It’s so well done with the camera shake and the quality of the imps that you instantly believe in them. There’s something about the way they’re acted that reminds me of the Dark Crystal and other Henson classics.

Higher quality version and a clip from another short film Kelpie can be found on the Bustykelp website
