The way the colour of each of Moka's numbers is picked off a detail of the image is wonderful, and in the case of #53 made me flat out lol.

Yes, as in the Alan Partridge one? I found the colour ref of that one downright funny somehow.

as someone born in the 70s, i saw Dark Crystal as a kid, thought it was fine at the time, but have no desire to revisit it
― sarahell, Wednesday, 12 February 2020 08:47 (four years ago) link
I don't watch enough telly to vote in any meaningful way, but would have voted for Gone Fishing. It's a bit like the Trip in that it's beautiful to look at and it happens to have two old men enacting their dotage in it. The difference here is that it's done with a real light touch.
I'm not a big fan of the 'it gets better in season 9!1!!!' argument but this definitely benefits from accumulation (after 3 episodes, I basically dozed through the rest with my eyes open).
― Ngolo Cantwell (Chinaski), Wednesday, 12 February 2020 12:11 (four years ago) link
it reminded me of the thing Alan Plater said about the best bits of writing on Z Cars being when they were just sitting in the car and chatting about nothing, it was a welcome change from the constant pressure for things to happen on tv

xxp: Still have the warm feels of seeing Dark Crystal at age 10 (and Time Bandits at 9). I recall my playground mates would hum the deepest chords we could manage, mimicking the urRu/Mystics.
They seem absent here.
I'd hope DC:AOR has less CGI, greenscreen, and impossible/weightless camera movements than the highlight reel of the trailer. Just charmless for me.
― forgotten even to the sea (Sanpaku), Wednesday, 12 February 2020 12:31 (four years ago) link
You should definitely give it a go. There's obviously some CGI but it's done with real puppets and sets and had a charm of its own because of that. It's also got a very good story and is absolutely gorgeous to look at.

Sometimes kid content is great on its own terms. I'm going to be voting (quite high) for the latest Shaun The Sheep in our movie poll for example
Would be nice if a few fans of these shows turned up and talked about why they like them though. Do your job ILX!

these vids are thankfully mostly gone from YouTube but still when you search "Paw Patrol" the first few results are not of the show but rather of grown-ass men playing with Paw Patrol stuffed animals. they have like 50 million views each.
