Victoria Luxford BBC.com Who doesn't love Wallace and Gromit? The humour is clever, drawing on a lot of classic cinema in its jokes and references. A joy for the whole family that still holds up so many years later. Rated: 5/5 Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Nick Hilditch BBC.com It's the kind of children's fare adults want to be a part of. Rated: 5/5 Apr 17, 2001 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A masterpiece. Rated: 4/4 Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof 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] Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Boasts some of the most ingenious of all comic routines, including remotely controlling an unconscious Wallace into stealing a diamond from the city museum. Rated: 9/10 Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Takes a far more conventional, three-act Hollywood approach to its story. Feb 6, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Penguin O What can be done wrong in a Wallace and Gromit short? Not much. The Wrong Trousers has everything from criminal mastermind penguins, to one of the saddest scenes in all of film history. You even get a chase on a toy train set! What other short film have you seen which had these elements in it? I'm hooked! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review randomshjt 2. Peak Wallace and gromit Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review K G 4 years later, in 1993, they returned on the BBC for this iconic short, the Wrong Trousers. This has the most creative concept: Wallace has invented a certain pair of trousers that can do anything. Along comes our antagonist, Feather McGraw, a penguin who is mute with ain features & inexpressive beady eyes but he still has emotion. Feathers was a nuisance ever since he rented a room (& took over Gromits, making him leave). Not only that, but he is an evil genius who altered the techno trousers (which are the wrong pair where he swapped his real ones), using them & Wallace as a way to steal the Blue diamond in the mueseum. Aardman did not have the most powerful villains but he was the more powerful any other animation studios villain. And nobody could do the train scene but the creators. Where do the trousers go next? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Cameron H In my opinion, Feathers McGraw is one of the greatest movie villains ever created. Without saying a single word you can just sense how evil and sinister he is. 🐧The parts where he stops walking and suddenly looks in your direction always gives me the creeps 😬. The chase scene at the end is also a true work of animation genius. 🍿If you haven’t seen this classic masterpiece, head over to Prime Video and watch it, it’s only 30 minutes! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Audience Member Feathers was an amazing villain and I’m glad they brought him back for VMF also the train chase at the end was pure gold I also I felt really bad for gromit when he was kicked out of the house by feathers Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review D M It's one of the great masterpieces of cinema. To think this was released in 1993, before all the digital special effects. The train chase sequence is utterly mad, given how it was made. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review Read all reviews
