#Wallace&Gromit #ChickenRun #DawnOfTheNugget #AGrandDayOut #NickPark
Chicken Run is definitely one of the best Aardman animated film and the greatest Stop-Motion movie of all time, its definitely one of my most favorite movie!
Agreed.
I'd argue it's one of the greatest movies of all time.
Can't argue with that it's so good that my family can't stop watching it
I’m a big stop motion fan, rankin bass (which is quite niche being in U.K.) and have a seperate dvd section for stop motion. Chicken run is amazing but I don’t know if it’s the best stop motion ever made but I’ll admit so definitely in top 3 for me.
@@joannabevan5456agreed
Aardman is a British institution… no word of a lie, all it’s films are simply legendary.
Except the new chicken run
@@EFP__98 Why
@@EFP__98I really liked it!
An honorable mention is The Pirates: Band of Misfits (or In An Adventure With Scientists if you live in Britain 😅) The movie has a beautiful combination of claymation with CGI backgrounds 👍🏻
It should be in the list
@@ryancoombs3677 well no but actually yes
My favourite part about that movie was the sea monster on the map. Great set up, hilarious pay off 😂
That movie is criminally underrated!
I actually watched that movie when I was younger.
Chicken run has one of the best jokes in all of cinema not just animated movies. “what kind of pies?” Always makes me laugh.
"I don't want to be a pie! I don't like gravy."
Apple.
@@nicksorenson940 MY FAVOURITE!
@@digitaldeathsquid3448 CHICKEN pies, you great lummox!
Fun fact: Nick Park actually was responsible for a cultural juggernaut prior to Creature Comforts: the music video for Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel.
I know one of the model makers from both Sledgehammer AND Creature Comforts, Greg Boulton, a great uni mentor and good friend of mine, I still chuckle over the story Greg told my Uni class that Nick Park was animating REAL chickens from Tesco's in "Sledgehammer", so under hot lights they went rank VERY quick and he had to wear a face mask to protect himself from the foul odour, we all had a good chuckle at the time. Still tickles me to this day.
Wallace and Gromit will always have a special place in my heart, I grew up watching the DVD episodes and the movie, (at that time, I didn't know what claymation was, but I didn't care, I loved them too much), but Chicken run also part of my childhood and I hope the next generation can learn to appreciate these movies because they deserve respect and recognition
Chicken Run will always be my jam. Though it uses the dreaded "Liar Revealed" trope, luckily it doesn't dwell too much on that conflict, and Ginger is more angry at Rocky for leaving than for lying in the first place.
I'm surprised Flushed Away, Wallace and Gromit the matter of loaf and death, The Pirates Band of Misfits, and Early Man weren't mentioned on the list. Chicken Run was my favorite Aardman film, followed by Wallace and Gromit.
Considering the studio has only made 9 feature films, its weird for any not to be included in a top 10 list.
I love a grand day out and creature comforts but we sure as shit are stretching the meaning of the world film to include them.
I guess "the only 9 full length feature films by aardman" doesnt have the same ring to it.
Flushed Away should have absolutely been on here
Flushed Away and Pirates are in my top 3 personally (along with Wrong Trousers)
In my opinion they were definitely much better than the two Shaun the Sheep films (the lack of dialogue made them a bit boring for me)
I was thinking the same as well as to where a matter of loaf and death and early man weren't on a honourable list. Have not seen Pirates Band of Misfits and neither Flushed Away
Excellent breakdown of superb claymation studio. I wasn’t even aware that Chicken Run actually had a sequel. Finest example of the genre.
It’s on Netflix, but sadly it’s not that good not even close to the original.
@@007Julie oh well, I don’t have Netflix, but also don’t have enough time to watch what I want on HBO either. Thanx for the info though
To me, Wallace & Gromit's The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is Aardman's best film, and the best animated film ever.
Not having Flushed Away in this Top Ten is CRIMINAL
Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit & Flushed Away are all iconic!
Chicken run has one of the best jokes in all of cinema not just animated movies. If “what kind of pies?” Doesn’t make you laugh you’re dead inside.
The Train Chase was the best chase I’ve ever seen
Man, Flushed Away is too underrated...
I kinda view it as the Aardman equivalent to a musical release akin to Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" or Metallica's "St Anger" - it's a film that, to me, typifies the frustrations at Aardman towards Dreamworks' increasing micromanagements to desperately Americanize a British institution (The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit, for instance, received significant pushback from Dreamworks higher-ups about how American children wouldn't relate to a film about vegetables. Even the original film title, "The Great Vegetable Plot", was changed at the behest of DW). So what we got was a film that, while not up to the standard of Aardman's classic days, did eventually allow the studio to continue on as they wanted.
If you're unfamiliar with the album references, "Metal Machine Music" was an album released by Reed purely to satisfy a contractual obligation to his record label at the time, but mostly consists of white noise. "St Anger" caught Metallica at their most freyed, interpersonal relationships between the band at near-breaking point, resulting in an album that doesn't quite know what style it wants to be, and with deliberately ugly sound production choices thrown in to reflect how the band felt.
'Flushed Away' would be in my Aardman top 10 list.
That’s one’s like the best of the best
I understand that they may not be in some opinion as good as the others, but I can’t help thinking of the other Aardman Products (Eg. The Pirates, Loaf and Death, Flushed Away) and just imagine them looking on sadly and I feel a tad guilty. Brilliant picks for Top 10, though!
I grew up watching Wallace and Gromit on DVD, and I still love it to this day
Me too
@@nathancruz9172 I grew up with it on VHS, It was a great time...Pre Recorded by my Grandmother who would be 100 next year!!!
Vhs for me my mum just got rid of her vhs player😢
@@RegiyThornton I used to watch old movies on my grandmothers VHS player. Unfortunately after she died we have it away
Chicken Run, Shaun the Sheep, Wallace and Gromit are INDEED my favorite Aardman films. Very nostalgic 😄❤
Honorable Mention:
Flushed Away (2006)
Easily one of the best pure comedy fillms Aardman and Dreamworks have ever done.
I love Pirates and Chicken Run. I grew up watching both of these movies and still remember just about every quotable line.
Chicken run 1&2 and Flush away are my all time favorite
It’s a shame that the Academy Awards didn’t add the Best Animated Picture category in 2000. Chicken Run would have won hands down.
5:43-And DON'T forget Curse of the Were-Rabbit won an Academy Award/Oscar!
I love aardman
5:52 Halfway in.
I honestly wish I grew up with Aardman as a lot of their work puts a smile on my face
Just this year I’ve grown attached to both Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the sheep, both have made this year better for me and throughout this year I’ve been excited for anything new they would announce or release
Aardman has grown my fond and appreciation for stop motion animation :]
4:39 first film I ever saw in the cinema
Didn't realize how many inspirations there were for most of these films. James Bond, The Great Escape, and so on.
BEST OF AARDMAN ANIMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have Curse of the WereRabbit and love it dearly.
Who else is here after watching Chicken Run 2?
Saw Chicken Run 2; just as good as the first film!
Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run were the bee's knees of Aardman Animation. They just haven't made anything like them since. I miss the days when Aardman balanced dark tones with lighter themes instead of making films that felt like they were exclusively for kids
People always talk Disney has the best animated movies, but I believe Aardman has the ultimate best content. I grew watching British content during my childhood which was mostly stop motion and its an animation style many should value due to the efforts put onto it.
Chicken run is my absolute favourite film Aardman has ever made but dawn of the nugget isn’t as spectacular as the original but it does share the same amount of quality and it has an amazing story to it as well.
Chicken Run is the greatest Aardman film of all time. Also one of my childhood favourite films.
Love Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers ❤
I remember many years ago there were some rumours going around the Aardman were going to do a Count Duckula movie. Sadly that turned out to not be true. But it is still something I would love to see.
Wallace & Gromit, Flushed Away and Chicken Run were the best movies to grow up on.
Can’t wait for the upcoming Wallace and Gromit movie!
Happy 25th anniversary to Chicken Run!
Great video! 😁
Love Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit ❤
Flushed Away is one of the most underrated animated films ever, really disappointed me how it ain't on the this list
Hello I have subscribed to your RUclips channel
Number 10 should have been "The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!"
Absolutely LOVE Chicken Run (both original & sequel) &
Shaun the Sheep (Farmageddon & Movie)
What I find great about Aardman, is that even their lesser known films are still really good.
Wendy? You mean Wendolene
That’s reminded of wendy for Rex the Runt
Interesting thing about "Creature Comforts", the audio is from interviews with real people. The puma is a Spanish immigrant talking about the living conditions of the housing complex he lives in.
said complex was a bedsit in Sheffield on Psalter Lane from what I learnt... going to Sheffield Hallam Uni on the animation course DOES have it's insider perks.
Love Aardman ❤
Wallace and Gromit and chicken run 1 especially
Man, I love Aardman so much.
I really love Wallace and Gromit a matter of loaf and death. It’s really ell done and I think deserves to be in the top 10 but still really good picks! Love your vids
I can't believe they left out The Pirates!
Thank you so much!
Wallace & Gromit is my favourite film franchise, I never get bored of watching them in fact I don't think I've gone a year without watching them 😂
As much as I liked Dawn Of The Nugget, I might personally rank Pirates In An Adventure With Scientists over it. I'm not entirely sure how to explain this at the moment, but they are both very good films in Aardman's catalogue.
Here's some honorable mentions: The Pirates: Band of Misfits, Early Man, Flushed Away, and Adam.
Here’s hoping they’ll make a top 20 follow up video.
The creature comforts British Gas adverts were a fun part of my childhood.
I'm a huge Aardman fan.
I most admit though that I've still got yet to see Chicken Run 2 and both Shaun The Sheep movies.
Love Wallace and Gromit: A Grand Day Out ❤
Feathers McGraw the naughty penguin
A Grand Day Out also saved The Wensleydale Cheese Company
For real?
@@victorhernandez8723
In the 1990s, sales of Wensleydale cheese from the Wensleydale Creamery had fallen so low that production in Wensleydale itself was at risk of being suspended. The cheese experienced a boost in its popularity after being featured in the Wallace & Gromit series. The main character of the series, Wallace, a cheese connoisseur, most notably mentions Wensleydale as a particularly favourite cheese in the 1995 short A Close Shave. Animator and creator Nick Park chose it solely because it had a good name that would be interesting to animate the lip sync to rather than due to its origins in northern England where the shorts were set. He was also unaware of the financial difficulties that the company was experiencing. The company contacted Aardman Animations about a licence for a special brand of Wensleydale cheese called, "Wallace & Gromit Wensleydale", which sold well. When the 2005 full-length Wallace & Gromit film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, was released, sales of Wensleydale cheeses increased by 23%.
The thing I preferred about Farmageddon is the Doctor Who references. There was literally a sheep disguised as a Dalek saying "Exterminate" while bleating. And we briefly see the alien use a sonic screwdriver. Not to mention Tom Baker's Four 😊
5:08 Breaking the fourth wall
9:27 I'm American
Love Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave ❤
My most favourite Wallace and Gromit is The Wrong Trousers
I'm very surprised that Wallace and Gromit in a matter of loaf and death wasn't included in this as it was another classic
I hope Aardman’s attempt to do a VR game based on A Grand Day Out goes well to do one based on Chicken Run but make it a multiplayer shooter
Aardman: made 9 movies
Top 10 Aardman movies
The Aardman movies have a host of the best of the British acting industry lend their voices to characters: Miranda Richardson, Helena Bonham-Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Mel Gibson. Peter Sallis, Nicholas Smith, Imelda Staunton to name a few.
Mel is Australian though born in the US, far from being British.
@@olliesmith2890 lol Oops! You're absolutely right.
I like Aardman
Aardman did a lot of Amazing films that I’ve watched
My favourite Aardman movie and short is Wallace and Gromit
I grew up with Wallace and Gromit on 📼
Aardman is underated
I thought Aardman usually makes stop motion, but Arthur Christmas had me wrong.
My favorite Aardman; Flushed away, Chicken Run and Shaun the sheep!
I love Wallace and gromit I hope they reappear soon
Wow, Watch Mojo UK is finally giving Aardman some attention? What took you guys so damn long?
Love Chicken Run ❤
I was hoping for Pirates Band of Misfits to be on the list. Yes Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run are my childhood movies, but I at least was hoping for Pirates to be on there somewhere.
Good news, they're getting a Wallace & Gromit 2024 movie!! :3
and Feathers McGraw will be returning!
@@AshleyBoon That explain the Trousers... Reprogram one last time.
@@AshleyBoon Bet Vengeance Most Fowl, starring Ben Whitehead as Wallace, will win an award.
To me personally, “Wallace and Gromit Curse of the WereRabbit” is the greatest of them all.
I grew up With Shawn The Sheep and his pals making wacky inventions and I loved both the Shawn the Sheep movies they just so fun and very funny!
Should've added in honourable mentions: early man (with a homage to the 1966 World Cup final between England and Germany)
Now we just need to wait another 23 years for chicken run 3
You left out The Pirates: In An Adventure With Scientists and the Angry Kid: Who Do You Think You Are 🤦♂️
But if you had to make a top 10, you’d be excluding 2 to make up for the 2 you like. But I’ll look those two up, thanks for mentioning 👍🏻
Aardman did tv shows as well. My favorite is creature comforts.
Chicken Run is my #1.
My Fav is chicken run and Grand day out and curse of the rabbit
Chicken Run (the first movie) hands down!!!
I've seem almost all of these. Other than numbers 10, 8 7, and 2. All of the rest of the list I have seen.
Did you know that Sean the sheep first appeared in Wallace and Gromit
Aardman never misses!
Aardman is too underrated in my opinion
Pirates band of Misfits is my favorite
Flushed away and the pirates should be on the list
People forgetting The Pirates in adventure with scientists and Early Man?
I like Pirates, but Early Man is definitely one of their weaker films.
