Angry Kid - Season One DVD Collection [2003]
Originally played on the Internet and digital television, these (roughly) one-minute sketches are sarcastic, irreverent and definitely not aimed at kids. In "Bone" Angry Kid falls off his bike and has to fend off a ravenous dog who's after the bone newly jutting out from his broken elbow, while in "Hoax Call" he torments a directory enquiries man into shooting himself. Animated using a process called pixilation, director Darren Walsh created Angry Kid using a real actor as a base for a series of masks, creating movements frame by frame. His expressions are hilarious, but what's most appealing about this repugnant little brat is his embodiment of teen angst. Alongside the gross-out humour come some classic observations on teenage quirks, like Angry Kid facetiously enquiring which swear words he's allowed to use. Remember doing that? On the DVD: Angry Kid's animated menus show him abusing the viewer and lead to a generous amount of extras. The making-of documentary "Inside Angry Kid" goes some way into the process of pixilation and the creation of the masks, together with interviews with the animators. A montage and teaser trailer for the next series highlight some of the best moments, as does the image gallery. Copies of Angry Kid's school and police reports highlight some of his worst moments, but the funniest touches are a director's cut of one episode and three bizarrely hilarious foreign language (read: Angry Kid impersonating Chinese, French and Spanish) films. --Laura Bushell DVD Technical Information:

He's a ginger-haired kid in a parka, but don't underestimate this little hellraiser; Angry Kid is the product of Aardman Animations but couldn't be further from the amiable antics of Wallace & Gromit. If he's not stuffing himself with chocolate and fizzy drinks until he's sick, Angry Kid is ramming a cotton bud up his nose or relentlessly picking on his little sister.

Is this meant to be funny?

A friend showed me this a few years back. Thought I'd give it some time. Watched it again a few years later. Is it meant to be funny?

this is wicked - and if you want to get more angry kid check out aardman's darkside with 12 eps from series 2 plus a brand new angry kid episode never been shown before - and with more animation from aardman's 'other' side you got to check it out
Too short...

This DVD last about 40 minutes in length and although it's quite funny, it all ends too quickly. They should have included loads of extras too, but they didn't. So, your basically left with an unfinished feel to the show, which gets old if you watch it too much.
Excellent

Have been watching these on Atom Films Maven High Def dowload system for a while, but due to the 2 week licencing a good old DVD is very nice to be able to get.
