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.

A Grand Day Out...is a terrifically funny sci-fi adventure which gives us a hilarious teatime shot of inventor Wallace...and his faithful canine companion and helpmeet Gromit...

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

Part Jules Verne, part Chuck Jones, A Grand Day Out gives Wallace and Gromit a foil in the strange little whatchamathingie coin-op machine they encounter on the Moon...

Not everything is reduced to artisanal animation (the kind that shows the love put into each character), but it boasts a sparkling and fun script, full of wonderful craziness and charismatic characters. [Full review in Spanish]

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

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

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.

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.

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.
