I built Fantastic Mrs Fox.

Crikey, you really are a puppetmaker Grae! What a cool profession. So what other things have you worked on?

Corpse Bride was the last big project, the rest is pretty much most of the kids stop-motion series of the last few years: Bob the Builder, Engie Benjy, Postman Pat, Bill & Ben, Andy Pandy, Fifi, Roary the Racing Car and so on!  ;)

I'm impressed, Grae.  Regardless of my OTHER (less than complimentary) thoughts upon seeing the trailer, I did like the character design and "look" of the thing.  Shame about the yankificaion.  

Thank you.

The English/American hybrid world was a bit weird. One week you've dressed an anthropomorthic fox in a corduroy suit, the next you're fitting a teenage beaver into an american football uniform! The final film worked better than thought it would.

I remember asking about the Aardman studios in the puppet making area where Grae would be found, and being net with a surreptitious, "Ooh, we don't talk about the Wallace and Gromit deal here. " Very mysterious. ;D

No mystery really. Being beaten at various awards, again & again by the same plastecine puppets year after year, starts to become a bit of a sore point after a while!  :)

I'm related to Bruce Lee.

My uncle's wife's cousin married his niece. I swear to god I'm not making that up.

That and I once took a shit in the next cubicle over from Kevin Keegan.

Bill and Ben and Andy Pandy ??

You have been in the business a long time then ?

Things have certainly changed a bit since those days !

The early noughties remakes, not the originals. I'm still a (relatively) young thing!

My comment was just an attempt at humour  ;)

Still yours is a proper claim to fame and the best so far...

An inversion of the natural order, to be sure.

She's a fox!
Only time I've felt a stirring regarding Meryl Streep that wasn't a burning desire to fire her from a cannon into an acid-bath.  With a barbed-wire loofah.
