强烈推荐：美国版Creature Comforts

Jun · Post by **Jun** » 2007-06-18 6:13

英国原班泥捏动画片 Aardman 制作的 Creature Comforts制作了美国版本，最近在CBS上开始播放了。上周被我偶然看到一集，颇不逊色于英国原版。也是收集了凡人大众的家常对话，编在泥捏的动物身上，幽默可爱。强烈推荐哦。今晚八时（中部时间七时）在CBS上播出！

动画风格象CAVA贴过的奶牛系列

美国版本，就是说这些动物不讲英国口音？我还是喜欢他们讲英国话。

那个网址下面就有个在网上买UK series的链接。

不过我也会youtube的干活。

奶牛系列？还是绵羊系列？

绵羊系列，不过里面的动物是不讲话的，目标是面向更大的买家市场。

我老是有幻觉Shaun的主人在讲字正腔圆的英国话，现在才想起来他基本上在嘟嘟哝哝。

CAVA · Post by **CAVA** » 2007-06-18 10:53

Shaun的老板开口讲话也许要吓你一跳，他讲的十之八九会是乡下的方言，比Wallace还要家常，所以不要期待他会字正腔圆。

英国版的 Creature Comforts 我看时需要打开字幕，否则就必须打起全副精神注意听才能跟上每个字，无暇走神。美国版的也有各地口音，纽腰啦，德州啦，看时轻松多了，好笑的部分立刻达到效果。英国版的好处是耳朵接触到各地陌生的口音，尤其是英格兰北部和苏格兰（低地）口音，逗得我忍不住要学舌上两句。

说错了，是绵羊系列

说起英国口音，布莱尔好像来自苏格兰把，可是他说话基本就偏英格兰了。高斯福庄园那个小女佣说的苏格兰音是我喜欢过的不多的苏格兰音之一。以前有过若干个同学朋友同事都是苏格兰人，可是他们虽然每个人都很直爽好处，爱冒风险，可是那个苏格兰音太太好玩了。

最后，GEICO的那个蜥蜴也是苏格兰音吗？

The Gekko? I don't think that's Scottish accent at all. More like Cockney (not that I'm an expert in Cockney accent)

.

Tony Blair hardly has an accent (to my ear).

Blair讲话倒没什么口音，但是句子特短，每几个词之间需要大喘气，做一两个动作。他终于要走了，我还真不讨厌他。这些人老得真快啊，看看他，再看看克林顿。

Jun不喜欢的Beckham也结束了Real Madrid的生涯。他说话那叫一个难听。不过我还是觉得他有斗志，被Real踢开后很努力，弄到最后人家要来挽留他。

回到动画片，Aardman最近的人物都长了一副板牙哈。

比较严肃的政治人物都老得快－－－每天有多少p事需要处理，多少气需要斗啊！

I really googled!

and he did speak Cockney accent (working class of London?)

Note I googled GEICO, cartoon, accent while I did not include "Cockney"

caz I did not know what Cockney means

一定是从wererabbit之后发现了板牙的魅力。

那个网站上有张两个兔子的合影，不但有板牙，还有雀斑！

Hmm. Sometimes I surprise myself. Guessed right for once.

Too cute.

this is such a cute cartoon - love it. Thank you for the recommendation

Riding on the coattail of my success, may I make another recommendation?

I was in no mood to watch a long and meandering video tonight, but I had to watch "Cinema Paradiso" DVD tonight and return it tomorrow. So I paid little attention, doodled this and that, had Internet open, etc. throughout the whole time. By the end of it, however, it still made me

. Darn! Why do these Italian movies have to be so melodramatic? And why the heck does it work every time?! Geez.

The friend who recommended Cinema Paradiso said she cried like a baby watching it. A couple of others also said the same thing. I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of Italian cinema -- their exaggerated acting style and endless dialogue and non-sync sound and ... yeah, melodrama. I prefer restraint. But they just do their work on ya. What can one do?
