This series is widely acclaimed in the UK, and several small films in the series have contracted for the best animated short film Oscar. This movie continues to use the characteristics of simple characters, simple environment, simple plot and so on. It is full of British humor and is very suitable for a family to watch together. The clay animation project is large and time-consuming, but it takes a long time to produce detailed work, and its imaging effect is much more realistic than the general two-dimensional animation. Although there are beautiful, ugly, good and evil roles in each story, the robot dog is the bad guy in this movie, but under the performance of the clay animation, it is no longer terrifying. This is the attraction of clay animation. The appearance of each character is almost round and without edges, and the clay is brightly colored. Under this premise, all the story endings are warm.
What made my eyes bright in the film was that Gromit saw Dostoevsky’s crimes and punishments in prison. I had never watched them. He actually watched a dog with gusto. It made me right at once. This calm, peaceful, and calm dog developed a good impression. And the reason why this movie is called Razor Edge, apart from the title, no knives appear in the film. What the director wants to express is actually the two sides of the knife. It can cut cheese and kill people, which is a metaphor for the invention throughout the film. It reminds us that human beings live on the blades of many inventions. Maybe one day in the future, the machines in real life will become evil like the robot dogs in the film. Children only look at the surface, this metaphor is for adults. It must be because of this dark line that it can win the Oscar.
Although this is a simple story, there are still many unexpected turning points, like the fact that the male and female masters finally broke up because of the problem of eating or not eating cheese. This kind of calmed me. But life didn't come because of these various small imperfections and wonderful, so the way the story is handled is also very good. In general, this clay cartoon that lasts only half an hour is worth watching. It is not easy to be able to make such a high-quality film in the 90s. There is also Sean the lamb who is on the edge of this razor. This is the first time to appear on the scene.
