9/10

rough but authentic and holds the beat

Peter Lord created a terribly cute claymation for this Nina Jones "music video", featuring two cats in love, the sophisticated singer and her unsophisticated darling. This song is one of Nina Jones' best recordings, and Peter Lord (with Aardman) translated the lyrics into a bit of a silly story. The visuals will appeal to kids and the fantastic singing and perfect piano will appeal to adults.

On particular technique that appealed to me is the piano segment -- Lord moves from claymation to live motion play with the piano keys to give a very abstract interpretation of the music, but totally in sync with the beat. The claymation is a bit rough and choppy but it still scores 10/10 for authenticity.
