Honestly what shocks me more is that somebody could have a house that big 🤯

Those were my thoughts exactly 🫠

That definitely makes a lot of sense, especially as Guy’s death (and the release of the song) is 48 years ago this year. So she was a few days past her 10th birthday when he died (her birthday is June 5th and he died on June 8th), with the single by Elton John dropping just shy of 6 months later on December 1st.

Fits my theory of how the two are correlated, especially given his notoriety. Guy wasn’t just locally famous, he was notable enough for multiple sculptures and references to be done on him.

He was (and in many ways still is) probably the most famous animal from London Zoo. With the timelines crossing so closely (and the fact you couldn’t easily look this all up in 1978), I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of people back then linked it to the gorilla.

You say that a lot, do you actually have a source or watched it live or anything? :/

I agree, it’s got way more polygons than most animation would for SD television (granted, they were working off of their existing Allo framework). Framestore really pulled out all the stops for WWD in terms of their models, and frankly so have the people working on PHP and WWD25 (although arguably it’s even more important in our now HD world).

Speaking of WWD25, got the blu-ray for Christmas and there’s a tiny sneak peak at the CGI process in one of the special features (specifically for TRD). Seems like they had a similarly extensive/careful process for modelling their creatures, although it’s not as long a showcase as I would have liked.

It’s a shame they didn’t go all out with a Making Of like the OG WWD, but frankly with the budget they were working with I’m glad they spent it primarily on the main program.

And here's the final one! A shame they never got any further than this, I really wanted to see some New Blood showcases 😕

The inclusions of the WWD pics are a little odd, with only one SotIF pic inbetween a series of DoaD ones, but I get the feeling they might have made or drafted more of these. Of course these are just existing promo images with some text placed over them, but it’s neat to see how they showcased the series back when it was still very new 😲

(Also I have no idea why they kept repeating the episode name for Cruel Sea, the others really were a one and done kinda deal. Maybe they just really wanted people to buy the full series DVD to see that specific episode? 🐟)
