  1. It is amazing how generous Aardman was with their time. Right in the middle of the shoot and to show all this stuff to Adam is great. They clearly, and rightfully, have a lot of pride in their work.

  2. A great interview, I love Adam’s perspective on the whole production, it really gives a good insight into how difficult this process is. I cant wait to see the film!

  3. This is an amazing look inside the stop-motion process at this scale. This series is like a deep dive Behind the Scenes documentaries that I always wished for on my DVD extras. Aardman Animation would be smart to include this on their home release.
