Wallace and Gromit enjoy a day out with a difference when a quest to find cheese prompts a visit to the moon in this Academy Award®-nominated animation. Despite a few hiccups with their homemade rocket, the duo make a successful lunar landing, arriving just in time for lunch. But a strange, mechanical being isn't too happy to see Wallace eating slices of moon cheese.

Interestingly, A Grand Day Out lost the Best Animated Short Film Oscar to another picture by W&G creator Nick Park.

Gromit's silent routine works nicely against Wallace's limited intelligence.

Rated: 6/10

This is the first, and my favorite, of the three clay-animated "Wallace and Gromit" shorts.

In retrospect, the film is entertaining but not as impressive as its successors

Wallace And Gromit are excellent! The film is great, it's got some excellent comedy in the film. The story is a quite odd, but nonetheless it's great.

When first watching this. The character designs were off and looked different to “the Wrong Trousers” the clay isn’t smoothed to make the film look more natural. But that shows how Aardman Animation had improved with there films. A story that’s both funny and goofy at the same time.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Although at times the early roughness of the animation and the aspects of the characters can seem quite eerie in retrospective, but 'A Grand Day Out' holds up for a damn good reason as a classic short from Aardman. Nick Park and Peter Lord never fail to surprise me...

Animation doesn’t get better than this, and it never will. A day trip to… the Moon! Brilliant!! A small showcase of UK 🇬🇧 humour - the best in the world 🌎
