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.

K G 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Audience Member Can be boring at times Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
