Critical reception

edit

Dr. Grob gave the film one star out of five, saying the film appears more primitive than Aardman's previous short film, Owzat, and that the film "doesn’t feature any backgrounds of notice, and the main character, a grumpy waiter who has to serve a vegetarian meal at a meat restaurant, looks primitive and unimaginative. The film is utterly mediocre and, like Owzat, probably would never have been released were it not an Aardman production."[3]
