FAVOURITE CHARACTER
My favourite Character from Rudolphs Shiny New Year was Big Ben the whale. He is a whale who lives in the waters surrounding the Archipelago of Last Years. He saved Rudolph from a vicious attack by Aeon. He also carries him to various islands throughout the years where he meets several of his companions who all help Rudolph find Happy, the missing Baby New Year.
FAVOURITE SCENE
My favourite scene from Rudolphs Shiny New Year is the scene where Big Ben blows water and knocks out Aeon. The water flowing upwards and hitting Aeon is a very difficult technique to do in stop motion. It was very intriguing to watch because it looked very good and accurate.
