Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 5/5 Sep 16, 2004 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Interestingly, A Grand Day Out lost the Best Animated Short Film Oscar to another picture by W&G creator Nick Park. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Gromit's silent routine works nicely against Wallace's limited intelligence. Rated: 6/10 Sep 14, 2020 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid This is the first, and my favorite, of the three clay-animated "Wallace and Gromit" shorts.

Kevin P Charming debut of the lovable Wallace and Gromit with a fun premise of their homemade rocket trip to the moon to have a nice picnic with "cheese" from the moon. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review D3Z 1 Even though the story is quite bonkers and funny at the same time, a Grand Day Out with Wallace and Gromit still remains a charm and joy to watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Birithivy Y A Grand Day Out - 10/10. You know what’s insane? This short was a GRADUATION PROJECT! A flipping graduation project by the director. This charming, oh so British production helped launch a beloved franchise, starring the ever so charming and funny duo of Wallace and Gromit. As a lover of British comedy and productions thanks to Mr. Bean, I only really got into Wallace and Gromit a little later in my childhood. But it doesn’t matter when I started liking those tales, because as soon as you watch them, you can’t help but feel happy and intrigued. Its a mammoth amount of creativity and ingenuity involved in these stories, and I’m glad this story helped create one of the greatest British exports that film animation has ever seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Adri S Me encanto este corto, se nota el trabajo que hay detrás pero la cara de Wallace y Gromit hacen que le de un 3/5 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review TROY S 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Audience Member 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 10/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
