Al Dente (film)
''Al Dente'' is a 1998 computer-animated short film created by Aardman Animations. Plot A grumpy waiter has to serve a vegetarian meal at a steak restaurant. Production James Pursey did the sound, and Fred Reed was the lighting technician. Cast * Mike Cooper - ''Waiter / cook (voice)'' Critical reception Dr. Grob gave the film one star out of five, saying the film appears more primitive than Aardman's previous computer animation 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."
