Very constructive criticism indeed...
And thank you kindly!
To be honest, when I think of the fluidity of your Aardman's and Wind In The Willows, part of me is almost hesitant to call it stop motion animation... Although it clearly is. The low frame rate and lo-fi - or shoddy :) - look is quite intentional, in terms of both style and budget. We tried to keep the movement of the figures as minimal as possible so the music would speak, even move, for them... And there was no budget to speak of, and a deadline to meet... Hence, our own brand of bespoke shoddiness :)
We have priors with the band too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=97ScJfa0vJU
