...Aardman Studios they make art by hand, in a form called stop-motion animation whose history stretches back to the first days of cinema. It certainly goes back to the solitary youths of many Aardmanites. Nick Park, the studio's resident genius, was one of those kids who played with clay in a corner of his Lancashire home until, like Dr. Praetorius in Bride of Frankenstein, he made those little figures come alive...

...noir-ish palette contrast is cleverly manipulated by rapid switches between black and white backgrounds in the dance scenes. Yet it becomes a little trippy—and borderline tacky—when objects drawn from the lyrics start to appear and subsequently float around in slow motion: string instruments when Timberlake says “symphony” or notepads when he says “love note.” Featuring a perfect blend of solo and group dancing, the video is full of undeniably captivating liquid movements, although the all-too-familiar interspersions of scantily-clad women...
