Buster moves: 'Shaun the Sheep' modelled on silent movie star

British children's entertainer Justin Fletcher poses for photographers ahead of the European premiere of the Shaun the Sheep Movie in central London on January 25, 2015 As the studio behind the "Wallace and Gromit" movies herds its "Shaun the Sheep" into cinemas worldwide, the directors revealed that they modelled their fluffy protagonist on silent-movie star Buster Keaton -- and also that they are not sorry to see parts of their stop-frame works go digital. Richard Goleszowski and Mark Burton, the brains behind Aardman Animations' latest stop-frame, no-dialogue feature film, made the remarks to AFP in Paris ahead of a new exhibition in the French capital showcasing the studio's work. "Buster Keaton was always a model for us for Shaun," said Goleszowski (who directs under the professional name Richard Starzak).
