⭐ Featured Review

A British War Vetran in pastel form.
by emasterslake2005-11-21
7/10

"This is a Stop Motion animated film by Peter Lord from Aardman the company that did Wallace and Gromit. It's a short about a Vetran telling his service in the War. It shows flashbacks of his younger self to make things less boring. It's more of a short documentary than a clay animated cartoon. Please note that the War Vetran has a British English accent that's hard to understand when hearing him speak. Luckily the flashbacks give an idea what he's talking about. Nothing inappropriate in it. A kid might ask "Why is the old man mumbling a lot?" You try to think ..."
