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 Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: B+ Sep 7, 2011 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.

D3Z 1 The Wrong Trousers was what introduced me to the Wallace and Gromit franchise and I remembered how I was drew in to the stop motion animation process which was fantastically well done by Aardman Studios. Other than that there is a reason to why the Wrong Trousers is such as timeless classic that comprised of a well structured, fun and intriguing story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Jay W This is the stop motion Wallace and Gromit adventure that people think of when they think Wallace and Gromit. The breakfast making machine, the inventions going haywire and a villainous penguin that dresses like a chicken. There are a whole ton of visual gags throughout the short. Just about every frame of the whole thing has a joke in it. Here in this short is where the dynamic between Wallace and Gromit is fully ironed out. Wallace is the well-meaning all be it a little ignorant leader that gets the two into trouble. And Gromit is the silent voice of reason, who comes to the rescue when things get out of hand. There are just a couple of tired plot points at the beginning of the story that I didn't care for. But those story beats pass by fairly quickly and then we get onto some great jokes. The short is a very important piece of animation history. But beyond its historical impact, the movie is just fun to watch. The short is full of charm, energy and humor. The Wrong Trousers has the right stuff. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review TROY S Wallace & Gromit THE WRONG TROUSERS Is My Favourite Wallace And Gromit Movie, A highly enjoyable claymation tale about an inventor man and his dog companion, who happens to be smarter than the man himself. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Teddy B The best entry in the franchise. 'The Wrong Trousers' is an insanely endearing, charming, and ground-breaking short that deals out amazing animation as breathlessly as its loving ode to classic suspense films. I seriously don't know how someone can make a franchise with such a loveable personality and YET still surprise me... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Charlie N BEST ANIMATED FRANCHISE EVER Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Max B The wrong trousers is a great craft of art not only great for kids but gives entertainment for all ages. As feathers McGraw plans his great heist utilising Wallace's techno trousers to steal the city museum diamond without a trace. 10/10 a must see for you and your family definitely a classic.
