- How do we stand out? How do we create a connection with the audience before our work has even began to play?
Aardman Animations figured this out by having a unified aesthetic across their work. But it goes deeper than just how the characters design. I attempted to dig that little bit deep in this video!

To be fair, the only reason Flushed Away is CG is because halfway into a typical clay built production, the studio burnt down. They decided to start over from scratch with CG since they had lost all of their footage and assets.
Are you the real Gary King
So you up for completing the golden mile next weekend?
Also the massive amount of water effects were hard to do with clay
MR GUY that's Gary Fucking King
Gary King also it’s hard to animate water in stop motion
I didn’t know they made Arthur Christmas, it’s very different style wise.
And Pirates is such an underrated film, really wish more people talked about it.
If it was stop motion Arthur Christmas would’ve a decade to be finished especially with that opening scene with the elf battalion
Here it is a list of Aardman Animations' filmography:

I grew up watching Aardman it will always have a spot in my heart
I never did think about where did Wallace and Gromit came from as a child. Aardman animation does have that distinct style, but I always thought it was the work of an auteur that was working for a big company. I hope that Aardman strengthens their brand and get the recognition they deserve. Thank you for this video!
It essentially is the work of an auteur really, but mounded and cultivated over multiple shorts! Thank you very much
I'm not dabbing. I'm just picking up this cheese off the floor, Gromit!
me_want_shotgun I understood that reference
I’m going to the Futurelands.
Good evening Gromit!
It's actually "I'm not dabbing. I'm searching the ground for cheese!"
Evening Gromit
It’s 2019 and Aardman has still retained its values and respect.
Disney’s meanwhile...
Is in hell on a hand basket.
Yeah... they have not made a good film in-house for a number of years. It's really sad and my family had a big part in the legacy.
The fact that I have friends who enjoy those awful CGI/live action remakes, baffle me. Especially sense they grew up on the originals. The announcements from earlier a month or so ago, snoozefest. Over ten Star Wars shows and movies! Weren't they just saying they needed to pull back on the franchise and regroup. I LOVED the first Wreck It Ralph. I couldn't finish the second movie. Ditto for Frozen 2. I couldn't finish Soul. I just didn't care. Which surprised the hell out of me. I love Pete Docter films! I saw Up in the theaters ten times! I recently saw the trailer for Disney's upcoming animated movie. It feels bland. I saw things in the trailer that reminded me of other Disney films. I wonder if losing John Lasseter hurt their movies. It'll be interesting to see the quality of the film John is working on.
@@spongebob03 I agreed with everything until you got to Pixar, Soul was a masterpiece that was a risk due to kids most likely being bored with it.
I remember watching The Curse of the Wererabbit and loving every second of it! Don't even get me started on the countless hours I've spent on watching Shaun the sheep...
Every morning.

@@goodjobeli I'm a Yank who watched the Shaun the sheep shorts.
This is some super polished stuff. I love it.
Aardman never peeked my interest as a kid. However, the studio has grown on me a lot, and Just like LAIKA, they deserve more attention and I hope for an amazing future for them
That’s a really interesting perspective, I grew up with Aardman haha but I’m glad they grew on you
I’m impressed man for a guy who only has 10K subscribers your editing and knowledge is better than a lot of other big name TH-camrs.
this video is a great example that no style comes out of thin air.
I find something that makes an Aardman animation feel like Aardman is pacing. They aren't afraid to take their time with a scene or setting up a gag and it works out well.
The fact that 'Minions' are more popular than Wallace and Gromit shows how 'charming' most people are, which is to say not very much at all.
Your knowledge and understanding of the medium is quite impressive. I really wish you all the best with this channel!
Thank you very much and triple thanks for your continued support!
As a child I grew up on ardaman just as much I grew up on Disney
Me too, Aardman was truly magical!
It pains me to think that many people outside of the UK, just won't understand Wallace and Grommit, in the same way we don't get many American sitcoms. In my opinion, Wallace and Grommit is probably THE essential British franchise. It's so charming and warm, to think that you can just sit down and see a guy and his dog go from almost being murdered, to sitting down for cheese and crackers.
Amazing Cole! Was really looking forward to this!
Claymation is such a beautiful yet simple method of animation that it makes you feel like you can create one of these movies in your home. Of course it would take ages and probably never be even near to an Aardman feature, but it's still pretty inspiring.
Thank you very much! And thanks for the help on this one 👍🏻
You surely could, two of the shorts I show at the start are actually some of the first animations made by the Aardman guys! Everyone starts somewhere
11:25 I'm glad he brought this up, because I have seen certain British people, never American, always British, who when they talk, I immediately think "that's an Aardman character." It has something to do with their mouths.
I had a boxed vhs set of the first 3 wallace and grommit shorts as a kid growing up. Now I showed it to my niece and she always loves watching it when she comes to visit.
I’ve been looking for a good animation analysis channel like this for ages, you’re amazing! Keep it up!!
I appreciate that, thank you very much :)
Idk about not being able to write charm, slow jazz and soft naration seem to work for you.
Pirates is a must see movie. It's perfect. I can't believe how slept on it is
I laughed so hard seeing it in theatres as a teenager.
Your videos are relaxing, informative, entertaining, and passionate. Everything I want in a video essay-esque channel. Thank you.
Thank you so much, this is selfishly, everything I wanted to hear in a comment hahaha, but honestly, thank you so much
@@Any-mation You are most welcome! I look forward to your uploads and I'm happy to share them to various associated platforms. I hope to take my joy of writing and performance to hopefully create a channel of this quality in the near future.
Who were the seven people who downvoted this video?! It's such quality - what a pity. Great job Any-Mation! I just hate how haters gotta hate.
Just comes with the territory
Evening gromit.
I enjoyed this video so much, aardman will inspire me to create in the future
Your channel makes me happy
Thank you so much, I loved it all.
so glad I found this channel, I adore animation and look forward to future videos
Thank you, I look forward to them too 😂
Your videos are fantastic. I look forward to more!
Thank you, me too!
Pretty slick stuff, loving the new edits and graphics
I’m impressed man for a guy who only has 10K subscribers your editing and knowledge is better than a lot of other big name TH-camrs.
Really love your style of editing and choices in topics. Hope your channel grows soon!
Thank you :)
Lovely video! I love how you broke it down and thoroughly elaborated on what makes Aardman the studio that it is today. Can’t wait for your next video!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you found it easy to follow and enjoyable!!
Just found your channel. You have beautiful craft in your presentation that feels consice, but still thorough. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! There's a lot of research, scripting, motion graphics, editing, sound editing and lots more that go into these hahaha! I'm so glad you noticed :)
I love Chicken Run and the score! Into the Pie Machine is my favorite piece.
Cracking video, old chap! 😊
Ahhhhhhhh all these videos just remind me how much I love animation!
Thank you so much, animation is the best! I'm really glad you liked this one, it's a sweet baby to me
This video gained my subscription to you.
*Nailed it!*
Fantastic video - love your channel!
Awesome, thank you :)
this is a WONDERFUL video! :)
Amazing video and great knowledge
You're quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-camrs. Excellent style and presentation, and very knowledgeable as well.
I wish you all the success. 💕
Wow, thank you so very much :)
@@Any-mation Absolutely! ^-^
Nicely edited great work
Very nice!
Our adventurous and humor-balancing studio is unique to reconnect with in this awesome/analyzing way.🎯✏👴🐶🐓🐔🎥 Stay safe everyone!
Beautiful stuff..!!
beautiful stuff
this channel is gonna go big
Thank you for reminding me Purple and Brown was a thing
Very good video, so well put together!
I loved Wallace and Gromit growing up.
Didn't know Arthur Christmas is Aardman animation. That's my favorite Christmas cartoon movie.
A blessing

Glad to see a new video.
Me too :)
Aardman one of my favorite entertainments from my childhood!!!
Quoting from Lord Nooth (aka Loki in Marvel) from Early Man: "Always has been, Always Will Be!"
As someone who lives in somerset, home of Aardman, we can go into bristol and they have statues and you can see the studio, and its so so cool, although unfortunately they wont take work experience T-T
I have so much respect for aardman animation love their work
Nick Park would make a killer ASMR vid
I my self noticed the vast similarities between all Pixar Westwood etc characters
They all nod when saying yes the timing is exactly the same
It makes me think there is a school somewhere popping these artists up.
Would you happen to know anything about the topic maybe MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT IT! ;p
They’re certainly interesting observations, definitely something to look into!
I m very love Aardman Animation, they are is my inspiration for have dream become an animator, just a wish
Chicken Run has a special place in my heart
Hopefully Chicken Run 2 will too
Aardman is my second favorite stop - motion or claymation studio.
Awesome, Who’s your first?
Laika, because the first claymation or stop - motion I watched was coraline. So laika is kinda the one who introduced me to stop -motion or claymation.
Aardman is my favourite stop- nation studio also I live in the UK
The fact that they're still putting out occasional episodes of Angry Kid to this day comforts me greatly.
I am hoping one day we will get a sequel to Pirates in an adventure. I loved the first film and it's story plus it was really funny. Aardman animations are incredible.
It was really unique, definitely agree
Aardman is the best studio ever
I've always loved Aardman, I'm a big fan of theirs.
They're the best
Very interesting to hear what you had to say about this.
Thank you very much, this was a tough video to research fully, but a lot of fun to make
Aardman is my go-to creator when I don't have too much to watch from Disney and Pixar
My sister and I loved watching “Ident”, while my favorite is “Next”.
Lovely vid
lovely comment
I love 💕 Aardman
You bring an overwhelming amount of class to your videos. Great Job
Oh wow, Thank you very much :)
Plasticine clay and stop motion are where I started. I have to get back to that. Those were fun times.
Its great to return to hands on stuff
I just now realized how insane it is that I often ask my friends when we talk about animated movies who made them.
Like, I know the catalogues of Pixar and DreamWorks by heart, but otherwise it could be Warner, Blue Sky, Sony, anyone.

Can you spare a spot of cheese?
Sorry no, not even Wensleydale
forgot creature comforts even existed used to love it
I'd like to see them do an anime adaptation
4:46 is a mood.
10/10
Interesting. I think at the heart of Aardman is something naive and without calculation. That is where the charm comes from. That is what enables them to develop their own style and vision, unlike the identikit, ruled by accountants output of the large studios

Long wait, but it's worth it.
I’ll try make the next one shorter, no promises ;)
Any-Mation, I don't think he means that the video is too long ;)
Either did I hahaha
Oops, my bad!
A fantastic look under the puddy all round :D
Thank you very much! Aardman are so great
7:33 Yeah, I agree - CG animation is just so damn hard to master, I honestly prefer doing animation by hand.
I can see that! Its all down to what speaks to you, which medium, but its all starting to blend together
The consistency of how great your transitions are is awe worthy.
Your videos are excellent!👍🎬🎥💯
Thank you so very much
Any-Mation You're very welcome!👍
Can you make a video about jay ward?
The first films came from Blue Sky studios, they made Ferdinand.
Can you guess the other two? :)
Any-Mation, the other four films are from DreamWorks, the other two films I don't know. I saw some from Cartoon saloon.
@@Any-mation
1) Blue Sky
2) Dreamworks
3) Very early Aardman, before they moved into stop-motion
We have a winner 🙏🏻
William Pym 6 months late but CONGRATS. 👍🏾👍🏾😁😁👍🏾👍🏾

Love this.
Fun Fact: "Claymation" was trademarked by Will Vinton, who made the stop motion feature film "The Adventures of Mark Twain" released way back in 1985. th-cam.com/video/qRgY56Sgub8/w-d-xo.html
I want to see a movie made by Laika and Aardman and see what the fuck happens.
Evening Gromit
I never realised how many popular adverts were made by Aardman.
It's amazing, isn't it? I was shocked too hahaa
Shaun The Sheep!
GET OF ME CHEESE
Please do one on DreamWorks not having great animated storytelling
Hi Guilshad! Thank you very much for your comment and for watching my video :) while I appreciate your comment I can’t agree with it! They put out a lot and though some are certainly less well received, other DreamWorks animated features and tv series stand head and shoulders with the best! 3 of Aardman’s most financially and critically successful features were with DreamWorks! Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon, Trolls, Rise of the Guardians and others are great films, I love them and have some dang good storytelling in them! Also series like Voltron and Tales of Arcadia are DreamWorks, and both, some of the best, CG and traditionally animated tv series! I hope you understand my point of view :)
Any-Mation then make what makes pixar stories the best
Any-Mation just please make a video based on my comment I luv your eork
Any-Mation at least say why animation might be better than live action
Any-Mation or animation doesn't get that much respect and why?
A nice video. But it went by a bit too slow.
I set the speed to 1.25, and it seemed like a perfectly normal video.
Very fair 😂
#gumby #oddbods
ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE A VIDEO ON MAKOTO SHINKAI?! CUZ HIS WORK HAS IMPROVED A LOT SINCE HIS FIRST MOVIE. PLZ MAKE CUZ THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING!!!!!
