Some kids wanna be Kanye, Kobe, or A-Rod. Mine wants to be Nick Park.

The Boy is heavy into another stop-motion animation project. The storyline of this one involves barracuda bullies tormenting unsuspecting coral-reef dwellers!

I get such a kick outta this kid. ::sigh::

THIS. MOVIE. IS. RAD.

I wish I could be more specific than that, but that's all I've got for ya at this juncture.

Halfway thru, I thought, "This is the most amazing movie I've seen in a loooong time." And if you are remotely interested in the technicalities of how it was made... well, that just makes it MORE amazing.

Really well-done. I hope y'all see it. Whether or not you have young'uns.

Watch out, Parker & Stone.

My child is also a construction-paper stop-motion animator, and he can KICK. YOUR. SENSE-OF-HUMOR. BUTTS.
