\nThe singing slugs were real cute, too! (Okay, so I’m taking this oppurtunity to insert some snail pictures of my own.)<\/p>\n
So I managed to catch another movie featuring Hugh Jackman – Flushed Away<\/b>. And no, I didn’t get to see the other Hugh Jackman movie – I missed the run of The Prestige<\/b>. It came and went, and I didn’t even see its trailer… but then again, I haven’t been to movies early enough. (Not my<\/b> fault!)<\/p>\n
Aardman Studio’s trademark claymation characters are all there, with their humor, too. However, it felt a bit more American, with less clever conversation, and more hidden jokes (ala Simpsons). Or maybe I didn’t spot as many until the end. Spot the Gromit and Bunny!<\/p>\n
Le Frog<\/b>: To action!
\nFrench Henchfrogs<\/b>: We surrender!
\nLe Frog<\/b>: Not that action, you idiots! The kung-fu thing!<\/p>\n
The French are associated with white flags and surrendering, so scones for you if you spot it!<\/p>\n
The joke with the classic yellow Wolverine costume didn’t occur to me till the end. Hugh Jackman, geddit?<\/p>\n
Jean Reno is always playing henchman to a baddie, or inspector. This time he’s hilarious. You’d forget that it was Ian McKellen being Toad. Bill Nighy was excellent as Whitey, the bigger of Toad’s two henchmen; he said stupid lines but didn’t necessarily do stupid things. The voice actors\/actresses did not bring their typecasts to the characters, thankfully. If you didn’t know who was voicing who, it would be tough to guess.<\/p>\n
\nThe singing slugs were real cute, too! (Okay, so I’m taking this oppurtunity to insert some snail pictures of my own.)<\/p>\n
Disappointingly, IMDB only has a few quotes<\/a> from the movie, compared to the wealth in quotes from Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit<\/a>.<\/p>\n And now, for a survey!<\/p>\n I think this survey makes more sense to read when you sort it into two lists – those that are true, and those that aren’t. So here goes the false bits:<\/p>\n I wear glasses or contact lenses. (20-20 baby! I should not waste these God-given optics and become a pilot and shag stewardesses all day. And uh, fly planes as well.) And here goes the true bits.<\/p>\n I miss somebody right now. (Then again, I miss all of you! Muaks! Hugs and kisses for all of you! I hope you’re touched!) So I managed to catch another movie featuring Hugh Jackman – Flushed Away. And no, I didn’t get to see the other Hugh Jackman movie – I missed the run of The Prestige.
