"Purple and Brown" are little characters made of clay that look a lot like the fantastic "Pib and Pog" but don't do quite as much nor are their antics as sadistic. Frankly, I like the earlier "Pib and Pog" BECAUSE it was so violent and sadistic! However, "Purple and Brown" tend to be shorter and less funny...but are probably more family friendly as well. Because of this, these Aardman characters have been used on Nickelodeon during commercial breaks and the average length of one of these shorts is about a minute--but some are much shorter. It's really hard to assess such short films but they are entertaining and fun for all ages and received a nomination for a BAFTA award--so they must be pretty good.
