Gogwana

Yes it's funny, but I can't quite see what's disgusting about using two dead rabbits as shoes?! Many of us wear dead cows do we not? Gogwanna is a film that needs to be watched many times in order to catch all the hidden jokes and animation in the foreground and background - did you see the deliberate homage to the old dinosaur films? The ones where a lizard would be used with some fearsome bits sellotaped to its' back? After all the film company's budget would not stretch to a real dinosaur.

Some of the animation on the film is second to none... after all some of the Aardman animators were working on it.(though you could say that the rather rough quality of claymation used in the TV series was part of the charm.This roughness has been forsaken in the quest for "perfect smooth claymation" and perhaps something has been diluted in the process.) All in all it's a good laugh! Bring back Gogs S4C ....

Overall Gogwana isn't a bad erm... movie? TV Episode? Short film, we'll call it. Its 30 minutes long - unlike normal "Gogs" episodes which are 5 minutes long. It's pretty much exactly like Gogs, but longer and with more plot. Like Gogs, it's pretty funny, but there's some slightly disgusting material that probably could be done without. 7/10 :)

One of the most hilarious pieces of animation I have seen in a long time. This won several awards and deservedly so. If you get the chance to see this (its been released on a DVD 'Gogs the Complete Collection') - then dont miss it. 9/10 for great original use of claymation, and outrageous and highly amusing plot.
