Clangers : The Intruder

The Clangers are peacefully building a house. We hear a whistling sound and down comes something. The Clangers run for cover. The thing is a terrestrial space-probe vehicle with large initials on it. It is a tracked vehicle with appendages. The Clangers watch it begin its investigations. It probes about, beeping and buzzing to itself. It finds a piece of local rock and produces a sort of digging device. It digs up the rock and appears to eat it. This shocks Mr. Clanger who goes out to speak to it. The space-probe does not register his existence and pushes him rudely out of the way. Mr. Clanger pushes back. Then the vehicle stops, backs away and produces a turret with an optical instrument on it and proceeds to examine Mr. Clanger with it. It approaches him and Mr. Clanger, thinking it wishes to shake hands, grasps the instrument which comes off in his hand. The space-probe goes into emergency action. Mr. Clanger tries to put back the instrument but the vehicle takes no notice. It ignites its rockets. It blasts off.

Crude and jerky? 100% more charming than the glossy, soulless and characterless shit nowadays. This is brilliant......

Stop motion animation carries an undeniable charm, however as an amateur animator myself I have to partly agree with baddmanaz's comment to come extent, when I watch this as much as I love the look of the show, I do find myself thinking more of the stop than the motion.

this was real footage and was interpreted incorrectly. The clangers are actually space terrorists.
