That's not to say it's any less legit than hand-drawn animation -- because if you're working on a CG feature, you BETTER know how to animate in "traditional" fashion -- but I'm just explaining why the sweat behind the Wallace & Gromit films is just a little extra-special. Plus, with three award-winning shorts and a fantastic feature behind them, W & G have more than proven their worth by now.So YAY! Aardman Animation has a new one to show us! A Matter of Loaf and Death will premiere on BBC1 come Christmas Day, so I might have to wait a few extra weeks, but boy am I psyched to see it.

Aardman has created another comedy classic. Long live Wallace and Gromit!

rhone, chill the f. out. I'm not from USA nor UK, and I get youtube's "content not available" regularly. Mostly by "our friends the Americans", ie. the big media companies guarding their property. Glad to see the tables turned every now and then.
