My friends in China have always been very busy, and I don't know the source of the Wallace & Gromit series. Although I was also in China, I was a student ten years ago, and the students at that time were very free. When I was okay, I watched STARMOVIE, which was still in the trial operation stage, and noticed that the movies were always played repeatedly. At that time, I was really free. Many movies were played repeatedly many times, but I still watched it again (Khan~), Among them are the previous short films of the Wallace & Gromit series "A Grand Day Out" (lunar picnic), "The Wrong Trousers" (introducing the goose into the room), and "A Close Shave" (the edge of the razor). At that time, I just thought: Oh, it's really like the same company. Later, when I saw "Chicken Run" (Chinese translation: "Chicken Run"), I felt that I was acquainted, so I went to the source and investigated Aardman.
Aardman Animations is a British animation company founded in 1976. The two founders, Peter Lord and David Sproxton, had already collaborated in making animations in their student days and successfully sold them to BBC TV. The following only talks about the origin of the Wallace & Gromit series. If you are interested in the company, please click here (by the way, the website is very creative).
In 1986, the second year after Nick Park joined Aardman, "A Grand Day Out" (Lunar Picnic Party) was born. This was the first time Wallace and Gromit met with the public. It was just a short experimental video before. , Can be found on the company's website. This memorable short film confirms the appearance and character of Wallace and Gromit's partner, Wallace's favorite cheese, and Wallace's infinite invention that will appear in every episode thereafter. The story describes the magical story of the inventor Wallace and his profound, mature and silent dog Gromit going to the moon for a picnic. It is rich in imagination, exudes a fresh and earthy flavor (it was originally a clay animation), quiet and full of British humor. Not as noisy as the American style.
The second short film "The Wrong Trousers" (introducing the goose into the room) did not come out until 1993, and began to have the shadow of the later storytelling style. In this episode, the Wallace family lives in a dangerous tenant—a goose. No one wants to know that he turns out to be a jewel thief on the run? ! It attempted to use Dr. Wallace's invention to steal jewels, which later triggered a crisis in Wallace and Gromit's lives. In this film, Gromit is even more extraordinary, surpassing his identity as a dog. This is also a detective with its rich and keen characteristics; we have also been able to experience the suspense in the "Curse of the Rabbit". , A narrative style full of mystery.
In the third short film "A Close Shave" (Razor Edge) in 1995, a second "person" finally appeared, a gentle and gentle lady who made Wallace fall in love at first sight. She also has a dog, but she has a mysterious atmosphere on her body. So Wallace and Gromit had to solve this mystery, and they discovered a terrifying conspiracy? ! Gromit was trapped in a jail because of this. One of the humorous scenes is in prison, Gromit is lying in bed watching Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" (What? "Crime and Punishment"? Dogs also watch "Crime and Punishment"?! Yes, A book that I haven’t even read, huh~), "Kang Dang", the prison dinner was delivered, and it didn’t even look at it; but there was still a package, opened it to look at it, sighed with tears, 5,000 yuan The puzzles are all repeating the same sheep pattern: I guess it said: "How long do I have to stay here?" We can see another characteristic of the Wallace and Gromit series, that is, there are few characters and life The environment is also very simple; even if it is made into a one-and-a-half-hour long film, there are not many main characters in "The Curse of the Rabbit", the environment is simple, and the plot is not complicated.
The fourth part is the 2002 "CrackingContraption" (cracked device), a collection of short films, I haven't seen it yet. However, it is said that "These one-minute short films show Wallace's talent and passion in invention and creativity with an extremely relaxed mind. For example, Wallace invented a sheep-counting machine in order to overcome insomnia. Sheep). Whenever he can't fall asleep late at night, he activates the mechanism and forces Gromit to put on a lamb costume and bounce in front of him and count him until he falls asleep. Look at Gromit's helpless expression deeply. Experience the beauty of "British humor".——Xue Yanping, source fifth, Keke, is a feature film and a real movie. In 2005, "The Curse of the Were Rabbit" (The Curse of the Were Rabbit) Vigorously showed us that the character has grown up for nearly two decades, and is still so lovable, suitable for all ages. The story is that Wallace kindly made a crappy invention (seems like this every time, sweat one~): A machine that transforms the nature of rabbits and helps the townspeople to eliminate the rabbit disaster. Even things are very British. If it is the United States, it will definitely invent rabbit medicine or something (but why are rabbits a bit like pigs?). I don’t want to make a big mess. He even got involved, causing people to panic. In the end, Gromit helped him clean up the mess. Wallace&Gromit's style continued, carried forward, and after so many years of hard work, it is only natural that the Oscar was awarded to it.
I like Wallace&Gromit very much . The series, I hope you like it too. Wallace&Gromit’s website, please click here, there are a lot of fun things in it.
12th November 2007, Aardman’s new work is released. The protagonist is a guy who grows up to be in a wheelchair. I don’t know what I am. Can you see it when?
