The ONLY good part of any of their stuff is that penguin, he's quite good.

# The first ones were good
The new ones are shit.

Edit: A grand day out and the wrong trousers are the good ones.

# I was pissed the The Curse of the Wererabbit got the oscar just for being Wallace and Grommit.
I thought Howl's Moving Castle was vastly superior and should have won.

# Yeah. Everyone was going, 'Oooh! An actualy W&G movie. ive it an Oscar'.
Howl's Moving Castle was far better and was the runner up.

# Fucking hell! That must be hooj!
I do love Miyazaki 's works. Not a big fan of his son's stuff though, he's just trying to be his father.
Hope he does something new soon.

# well,
in the way they're pun-filled, meta-referencing, slapstick, light, enjoyable, intriguing, clever, technically superb and, most importantly of all, very funny.
how can anyone not like them? makes me sad that there are soulless, crushed and dissheveled spirits out there unable to grasp comedy genius when presented with it.
