5.0 out of 5 stars Great selection of shows, 22 Sep 2006
By Madge (London, UK) - See all my reviews


This DVD is fantastic. It's a collection of the other side of Aardman that people aren't normally as familiar with. All the animation looks great as you might expect. But this one is nothing like Wallace and Gromit or Chicken Run - these shows are rude, dark, weird and sometimes really funny. It features gems such as Big Jeff, Rex The Runt and Angry Kid - my favourite. This DVD gives you a really good selction of these different characters and different animations. Its great.

5.0 out of 5 stars reply to Philip Vandenbossche, 28 Sep 2006
By S. Jex - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"A Town Called Panic" included in this compilation dvd is the English-language version of "Panique Au Village" which was re-voiced by Aardman with Pic Pic Andre's approval.

4.0 out of 5 stars Aardman made in Belgium, 19 Aug 2006
Hey, "A Town Called Panic" has NOTHING to do with Aardman: it's a Belgian animation series (20 episodes, total running time 130 minutes) originally called "Panique au village", and is made by the "PicPic André" studio, which is nothing more then a couple of extremely inventive writers/animators, called Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar. It's a great series, but how did it end up with Aardman? The original is (was?) produced by Studio Canal...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Town Called Panic
All 5 stars to A Town Called Panic. Shame there is only a proportion of the 20 episodes made. I hear though a dedicated DVD will be out soon. Read more
