Animation Festival

Did you get what you wanted this Christmas? Never mind. In the UK at least, you can settle down for today's animation festival. For artwork of stunning quality you can't beat The Polar Express (shown) on ITV. The rest of the fest is on BBC1. For Brit. humour at its best, there's Aardman Animations' Shaun The Sheep and Wallace and Gromit: A Grand Day Out. For unfunny Yankee humour but excellent animation there's Pixar's Finding Nemo and DreamWorks' Shrek 2. And don't overlook Robbie the Reindeer: Close Encounters of the Herd Kind.
