For one thing, it’s made for people who love movies, particularly those partial to monster movies and classic sci-fi/horror films. There are homages to Metropolis, King Kong, The Wolfman, American Werewolf in London, the Hammer horror genre, Beauty & the Beast, and touches of Rube Goldberg, Chaplin, and a unique brand of British humor that is purely Aardman, made famous by the genius of Wallace & Gromit’s creator Nick Park himself. The familiar elements are all there: the elderly fire-and-brimstone vicar, the forbidden romance, the villainous ‘Gaston’-type, carrying the damsel to the rooftop, the rooftop chase and the death/resurrection ending. It was all stuff we’ve seen before, but we were glad to see it. There was nothing forced or fake about it…it was pure cinema.
