ANGRY kids, are they a problem?


Angry Kid
Another Aardman creation, Angry Kid features a hideous red-haired freak along with his sister in minute long escapades. It really is a new form of claymation. It uses the bodies of real people with superimposed clay faces for the animation. Whether sniffing his finger for god knows what or dry heaving, he always makes me laugh.
If Angry Kid were a real human being he would coin new meanings for “Smell my Finger”. He would be a rock and roll prodigy who lives with his “Mum” and “sis”.
His escapades are eerie and irky, and half the time his face just makes you want to throw up. And even though he’s just a fictional character, you can literally smell how gross he is. Yet none of the dissuades any viewers from becoming Angry Kid addicts.
I recommend watching at least one of his shorts found at http://www.atomfilms.com/, and if your not instantly hooked, take up heroine, cuz you should have no fear of addiction.
