I saw it too, Rchadd, excellent flick, especially the chase sequences at the end.  Still, nothing beats the evil penguin in "The Wrong Trousers."

Cheers,

Not quite right but at least the art is still alove in some form.

From imdb:
The movie contains a considerable amount of CGI of all kinds, from drifting fog through to the bunny rabbits in the Bun-Vac. In all, there are over 700 shots that contain some kind of digital effects work.

Special software had to be created in order to photo-realistically recreate the texture of genuine Aardman plasticene in the computer. The software had to create the possibility for slight imperfections, e.g., fingerprints to appear on the fake plasticene bunnies and ripple effects of the characters moving their plasticene arms and legs.

*sound of bubble bursting*

I think an awful lot was still done in the 'old fashioned way' tho, wasn't it??

I second the Penguin from the Wrong Trousers tho - he's a legend

On the radio the other day (a reputable station that doesn't play Jessica Simpson or 50cent rubbish), they said about 40-50% of the film is CGI. In all fairness, it would probably have taken them forever to do it 100% clay-way.

They had a decent stunt to get some free publicity for this new movie.

And here's me thinking that they were all live actors.
