Session 1.1 The last animation I watched...


The last animation I watched…

Despite working many underpaid hours in a cinema, I must say that I am not exactly a cinema-going or an avid film-fan. The modern films I have watched are few and far between, with the ones I watch being the ones that really interest me, such as comic book films or dark/crude comedies (yes, this is perfectly normal for a 32 year old man, don’t judge me!)

With this, I can’t exactly say I’ve seen many of the new animated films, but I still admit to enjoying a few that I liked whilst growing up, a particular favourite being “A nightmare before Christmas,” and being the last one I watched a few days ago after reminiscing with my wife (how grown up...) after too much cider.

The film is based on a poem wrote by the producer and co-writer, Tim Burton, made by Disney production and released under their Touchstone Pictures banner.

I won’t go into details about the plot as the fear would cause any reader to have a heart attack, so I’ll explain instead that it was animated using “stop motion animation” using puppets. These puppets were made with detachable parts, such as having different heads with different expressions.
