Listers,
The new Nick Parks claymation film Chicken Run was released last Friday
here in Los Angeles. Many of us know his work from the Walace and Grommet
series of animated shorts. In the TV adverts, there is a clearly visible,
light green, claymated Minor Traveller that drives by the barnyard protest
scene! I haven't seen the film yet and wonder if there are any other Minors
or other old Britiron in clay.
If any of you out there remember the W & G film "A Fine Day Out" when they
fly to the moon in a homemade rocket to sample the Moon's cheese, the
rocket will not leave the launch pad until the parking brake (that looks as
if it was lifted directly from a Minor) is realeased.
I wonder if Mr. Parks ever owned a Morris Minor???
Cheers,
Rick Feibusch
