Angry Kid is a series of stop motion animations written, designed, created and directed by Darren Walsh. Angry Kid was produced by Aardman Animations, depicting the mini-adventures of a troubled 15-year-old known as "Angry Kid". Most of the episodes contain adult content.
Angry Kid is not clay animation as is usual with Aardman productions, but a combination of pixilation, mask replacement and live action. It is a technique pioneered by Walsh in his days as a student and involves taking a live actor, sitting perfectly still and being moved like a puppet, while masks are replaced, to give the effect of speech and shot frame by frame.
Season One and Two have both been released on DVD in the UK, and Australia. All the Angry Kid animations are free to watch and/or download on the Atom Films website. A compilation DVD entitled Aardman's Dark Side was also released, and it contains several season 2 episodes and an exclusive episode.
