Penguin O Aug 25 Wallace and Gromit was never bad, but this is the weakest outing of the duo for me, because the plot was a lot more simple and more boring. However, on the bright side, the Cooker skiing thing was a nice touch, and the whole idea of going to the moon because it allegedly is made out of cheese because they ran out of it is also very funny. Good luck Cooker on one day getting to Earth, and being able to ski there! Before your coins run out, that is. See more Jul 13 You can see the difference between the first and second movie but the humor always stayed the same and i love it!!!! See more K G Jun 12 When what starts out as a school project is put on the screen & gets everybody to fall in love. I love this short so much, I cannot decide which short is my favourite: either this or "A Close Shave". Nick Park had a very creative idea where Wallace's work was about building a rocket transporting to space with interior just like their with the moon just like the Earth to walk on normally & still air to breathe which does not cause your head to explode. And I would love to have that cheese from the moon, its one of those satisfying elements that you would really want to eat (I could eat anything in the Aardman universe). This movie is so cozy regardless of tones, it all felt down to Earth despite the fact that they were in space, I would love to go there to forget troubles.
