Claymation Comedy of Horrors (TV Short 1991). 23m

“I have a confession to make. I donu0026#39;t like claymation. Perhaps I just saw too many commercials with those raisins, or it was that annoying Noid from Dominoes Pizza (which was the spawn of Satan if you ask me), but I just never got into the work of Will Vinton. However, even with my predisposition against it, there is no way I couldnu0026#39;t have enjoyed this TV special. Plus, you just have to respect all the time and effort that went into making it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe show is about a pig who finds the diary of Dr. Frankenstein or Frankenpig or whatever. Unlike your average teenage pig, this one is excited by the idea of being able to create a horrible monster, so he and a friend sneak into a party being thrown for the undead. There, he hopes to gain access to the Frankenwhateveru0026#39;s lab so that he, too, can make an abomination.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe claymation is pretty much what youu0026#39;d expect except from Will Vinton except that instead of a 30 second TV spot, this lasts about 23 minutes. This intricacies of the sets and creations is pretty remarkable and time-consuming. Plus, and this surprised me, I actually had fun watching it–it made me laugh a few times–especially because the main character (a teenage pig) wasnu0026#39;t particularly nice or wholesome! Amazingly clever.”
