I like Wallace and Gromit but the trailer for this one just doesn’t grab me. I’ll probably rent it if the reviews continue to stay positive.

Okay. I saw this on Sunday. Empty theater. I can see why Lionsgate got it instead of Dreamworks. It's not so much a caveman vs Bronze Age movie as it is a soccer sports satire. Quick Harryhausen tribute at the beginning. Loaded with Brit humor that frankly will go over U.S. kids heads. It had a few laughs, and I did enjoy the old fashion craftsmanship of Aardman's claymation technique and design, but overall, I doubt I will even add it to my animation collection.

On the other hand, there was a quick trailer for a new Shaun the Sheep movie called Farmageddon, that may or may not have something to do with alien abduction. You'd think that would be more of a Wallace and Gromit thing.

Disappointing that it bombed. I wouldn't have minded watching it. I know and appreciate how hard it is to make a stop-motion feature.

Here's a good 30-minute interview with Nick Park on the making of the film :

As a Wallace and Gromit/Aardman fan going back to the VHS days, I thought this was really disappointing. The animation was fun, but the story didn't grab me whatsoever. Glad I only rented it.

Didn't like it and neither did my daughter. She became restless and uninterested before half-way and has never asked to re-watch it.
