The capital of Hungary is Budapest, I think. The capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina is Sarajevo. The capital of Belgium is Brussels.

What's the worst book you've ever read? Artemis Fowl and the Last Guardian by Eoin Colfer.

Assignment 04
Process of making " Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit."
Two friends run a business of "Anti-Pesto" around the town. The story based on a humongous vegetable eating fluffy rabbit trying to fill up itself with town competitive vegetables. Wallace and Gromit trying best to save the day.
Wallace is a slightly different from rest and unconventional, clumsy, caring, lovable character. On the other hand Gromit is a bossy, intelligent, caring and a silent character in the movie. Gromit act as Wallace best friend who stand behind him at any situation and walk Wallace through bad times without making him left out. One of the best animated characters of this story.
The ideas of the characters were built by Nick Park with his pervious animations of A Close Shave, A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Matter of Loaf and Death.
Who voiced Wallace? Peter Jhon Sallis, British actor played roles in The Avengers, Last of the Summer Wine, Doctor Who and more.
Helena Bonham Carter voiced for Lady Campanula Tottington, Ralph Fiennes for Lord Victor Quartermaine.
the film was originally named as "Wallace and Gromit the Great Vegetable Plot", realizing it was not a go the production changed it to "Wallace and Gromit the Curse of the Were-Rabbit".
making the film was a big challenge on the team
Even it had to use CG animation like when a colony of rabbit's swirl inside the Wallace invention of the car vacuum, to show it is more realistic at the moment, without messing things up. other challenge was to constantly change the script and edits according to the scenes to handle it more simply and make it work because it's all done using clay.
Characters are made with wired armature with the help of the team member Ian Whitlock and animated it as the first step before padding with soft filling and coring plastic the wired armature. Which can be moved easily.
Production team had to develop more than one puppet in many sizes and angles especially with different emotional features in faces.
Transformation of Wallace into Were- Rabbit was quite challenging to create the expanding shoe and a furry leg popping had to use a different method because clay won't stretch.

So I was in the tub earlier getting ready for a costco trip and I was hella inspired to write for the first time in ages like not trikey (Sorry hoes, enjoy my sims for now XD) but my Wallace and Gromit fic which spawned all the future shit you see on my AO3 (GO READ IT) and Fiction.net that I deleted when I ran for the hills in 2015 hahahahahahahahhahahmysoul.
-----
So, as a kid, when I first got into writing it was about Wallace meeting Victor Quartermaine’s daughter, Amy (I’ve grown up and just dubbed her Amelia cus I’m 25 now, I refuse to be that writer whose like noooo she has to be different), his only daughter, yes she was like 20-something and hella sweet on him but really hella evil yet Wallace married her anyway cus my fic, suck dick.
ANYWAYYYYYYYY: it was so shit and had all these weird Eastender-y plotlines like she was Wendoline’s half sister and Gromits mother thru some weird bloodshit Wallace did and it was just plain fucking shit and to this day it is the bane of my writer existence--HOWEVER! I want to bring it back, only better and realistic and not from the mind of a Wallace obsessed 10 year old.
I’m keeping the plot that she’s Victor’s daughter, Amelia and her older brothers, AKA, Victor’s sons, (Who are twins and loath Wallace so much because he’s older than their father and just wanna protect her to the ends of the earth). That’s a defo, of course I’m scrapping the weird side plots and bloodline twists cus hahahahahahahahah fucking christ my brain was a mess back then, still is but you know, improvement!
--------
So, at this point the plot is thus: Amelia is Victor’s kid, and despite dumping his ass harder than Joe Exotic dumps tigers on people, Campanula (Totty) still keeps in touch with his children out of motherly affection/pity as she knew their mother and everyone shared similar wealth circles, blah blah blah, especially as Victor is now a broken man stuck in crutches (The townsfolk really let him have it and that bunny suit did NADA to protect him) and tho she hates him, she wants to lend a caring hand, Tot’s a good egg.
Somehow, Wallace ends up having tea at Tottington Hall the same day as Amelia arrives to fetch some things for Hutch that were forgotten in his move to Quartermaine Manor as she became his new owner, falling for the wee rabbit boy and demanding to take him off her ‘aunts’ hands as she laid mention that he was a handful, being more human than bunny, giving Totty more time to dedicate to the proper buns.
As you can guess, she’s everything Wallace’s previous lovers weren’t, well, except for one thing, and her aloof, cat-like nature has the inventor on his toes every step of the relationship growth, which takes a long ass time since she is literally a human cat version of Gromit, that in itself leading them to be wary of each other and an overall disliking of Wallace until a trip causes her to laugh her boots off and open the beautiful young lady up to giving the man a chance at wooing her. Which he does, and their relationship becomes a Lana Del Rey music video that sends Gromit’s head spinning, having to juggle pups, (Yes, he and Fluffles tied the knot and have 2 year old puppies that wreck the house daily) Wallace’s habit of falling for problematic women and their latest business venture, it puts the dogs life on a rollarcoaster he can’t control and even if he could, has no clue how to.
This fic is obviously...mature, well, teen rated, kinda, I’ve grown out of that need for a sex scene in everything I write, but there are hints and it’s sorta sad watching Gromit realize he’s not the only one whose expanding life wise, that his master is human and his new love is...taking the wheel. JESUS HAS LEFT THE VEHICLE! AMELIA IS DRIVING NOW AND IT’S GETTIN’ BUMPY AF.
Because this is Wallace and Gromit, of course there has to be something wrong with the new chick other than being the daughter of the dude who tried to kill Wallace in the first place, and there kinda is, but it’s more in Gromit’s terms of evil, like she finalizes change, she’s very much in charge, determined and caring but sorta in a way to a lesser Disney villain, Amelia gets what she wants, will pay whoever to get it or do whatever it takes, well, to a degree until it just gets stupid then she takes out the problem altogether.
She’s like Piella and Totty together, at the same time, proceeding them.
I am gonna have a cinematic climax at some point but it’s not so much I CAUGHT THE KILLER, more WE’RE ON THE SAME PAGE I’M JUST MORE PSYCHO AND LIKELY TO GET IT DONE. Cat and Dog, literally, or mostly. One’s a person.
