The animations on this disk are brilliant, as ever. I was initially slightly disappointed by the fact that there are only 6 short episodes on the disk, but the extras are really fascinating! This left me undecided - would it be better to have the whole of series 2 on one disk, without the extras, or is it worth splitting like this?
On the whole, I think I learnt so much from the extras that I would prefer to have only the 6 short episodes and learn from the narrative. For example, the first time I saw a 'rehearsal' of a scene, I wondered why the lip sync was suddenly so poor. It took me a while to realise that these were actors, miming along to the 'real' audio tape. The actions of these actors are the body movements which are subsequently animated - a fascinating process. It's touching how proud all the staff are of working for Ardman - a great documentary!
