I love claymation/stop motion, and I'm definitely a Wallace and Gromit fan, so I was excited to see this. The animation was good, and the plot was entertaining. Though, I'm not sure exactly how this will go over with US audiences, because there were a lot of jokes that wouldn't have seemed funny if one wasn't familiar with football/Premier League. Tom Hiddleston's French accent was completely hilarious, and one of the best parts, next to Hobnob.

I found myself being pulled in to the beautiful animation and story, Two Balloons is stop-motion animation at it’s finest, add to that the emotion that the short film produces, the film is one that although it only runs for nine minutes, I ended up watching several times to take in the delights. Mark has certainly written a heart-warming story.

The look of Two Balloons can only be described as delightful and charming, as is the story of these two lemurs find what they are looking for, dare I say that the ending even brought a tear to my eyes, in a lovely way.

Stop Motion at its Best

Jack Skelington has become dispondant with his Halloween life. He feels bored, unfulfilled, and does not love the day like he used to.
While pondering his identity crisis, we stumbles out of Halloween Town and into Christmas Town!
Becoming obsessed with this new Holliday, he convinces the town to run Christmas, and takes father Christmas hostage/ for a forced holiday, in order to put their spooky twist on the day.
With a host of creepy but lovable characters, they learn the true spirit of Christmas.
Sounds cheesy? Well, surprisingly not. It is often debated as to weather this is a Christmas or Halloween film. Considering the lessons learnt, I would say it is an Xmas film, but a bit of a spooky one.
The songs are catchy (And I recommend the 2 disc soundtrack with the cover versions), the visuals are spectacular! All done with stop motion, it is a credit to this school of animation. Stunning and fun, it's a great watch, and one of my all time favourite.

"I feel like at one point or another, this is everyone’s favorite movie. Danny Elfman is amazing. I’m a big fan of stop motion. I really have an admiration and appreciation for [it]. I think they do such an amazing job, and they take so long to make. It’s almost flawless. You can’t even tell that they’re fake toys. It looks like animation. I like the music; it was amazing. Danny Elfman always does it with his scores, and Tim Burton is really rad. It’s done so well for the time. That’s a movie that will come around every so often that will just hang in the air and will never — no matter how good the graphics get, or how good your TV gets — at the end of the day, it will never folly. There are some things you’ll put on and go “It looked like that?” But when you watch Nightmare Before Christmas, you know it never gets bad or old. The music is always amazing, and they worked really hard. And that rings through. Stop motion is so great."
