Very noble of Nick Park to keep it in perspective. Can't say I would have been able to do the same. Would probably have been sobbing over remains of charred plasticine (does plasticine char?) and begging the cameras to go away and let me deal with my grief alone.

He gave a great talk, and it does seem terribly sad. However, I also heard NP's comments on the radio, and it was impressive how in context he kept it, compared to more tragic events worldwide. Compare and contrast to the "tragic" loss of the Saatchi Brit art, and the reaction of (some of) the artists there.

One can't help but believe that they are not just lumps of plasticine (non-technical comment)but that, once they have had the spark of life breathed into them, they are truly living beings. <BR/><BR/>Wallace is my favourite, because he reminds me of my Dad, dead now for 20 years exactly. Except that his favourite cheese was Red Leicester.cellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17061833787120469657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-1128949160347218972005-10-10T13:59:00.000+01:002005-10-10T13:59:00.000+01:00Oh no!
