MadameChaos Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 As much as I hate posting content from The Daily Mail, they have a very comprehensive article. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2460233/BBC-whistles-return-The-Clangers-Cult-childrens-return-screens-5m-remake.html so fucking IDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 This short animation by Michel Gondry always reminds me of the weird claustrophobia-melancholy-comforting emotional combination I get from The Clangers. Being set on the moon probably helps with the connection too ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Atom Dowry Firth Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 "The new series will use original creator Oliver Postgate’s technique of stop-frame animation and be overseen by the BBC along with original producers Smallfilms." This is how it should be done! Was filled with horror when I read the words '£5million remake' but this is encouraging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 £5,000,000 budget. Its amazing when you think the original was a bunch of finger puppets, papier mache backdrops and tin whistle sound effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Clangers are ace, as is Ivor the Engine. I had Ivor the Engine wallpaper when I was a kid. When we moved into a bigger house up the road I sat and cried on my bed all morning as I couldn't bear leving behind my precious wallpaper. True lol.
