Summary: Cracking DVD Gromit!
Review: I love Wallace and Gromit. It's simple. I don't recall where I first saw the duo, but I liked them immediately. With great animation, humor, and Gromit, the three stories are superb and never repetative. I can't pick a favorite episode because they are all great - you can rest assured that whichever episode you watch first will draw you in - although I love the high speed chase at the end of "The Wrong Trousers."If you like witty and interesting stories, even if you don't like claymation, you'll find Wallace and Gromit a refreshing break from the traditional fare. It's easy to get hooked, and hopefully they'll get a higher profile thanks to the success of the wonderful "Chicken Run." If you liked that, you'll love Wallace and Gromit, the originals!

Summary: Cute, well thought out.
Review: When I first saw these charming gems of modern animation, I instantly decided that whoever made them would one day strike it big. A few years later, BOOM! Chicken Run hits theators and makes a bunch of $$. Now that people have seen "Run" they may want to see these delightfully funny "mini movies". Good for all ages, the characters are well animated and very likabale. Enjoy.

Summary: A Landmark (rhymes with Nick Park) In Animation
Review: Nick Park and Aardman Animations have constructed an incredibly fun-filled and legendary series in their "Wallace and Gromit" shorts between 1992-1995. The sheer inventiveness, wit, and technical perfection of the films are unmatched by even today's Disney standard of animation, and shouldn't be matched for some time to come. A joyous romp though a winkingly stereotypical England with a slow inventor and his thanklessly *smarter* pooch, the films also serve as a great change from the current trend of computer animation. Well-deserving of its Oscar nods, this set of shorts should be rightfully treasured for years to come; I envy the person reading this who has yet to discover "The Wrong Trousers." Now, if only they would figure out that "Chicken Run" indicates mainstream American audiences have a taste for this stuff and make a full-length "Wallace and Gromit"... :)

Summary: One of the best animation one should own
Review: Intiligently funny plot for all three episodes. The movies are so well that it's hard to believe that they were made by only a few persons (details of the making is also fun). Must have in collection for every family,I am really glad it came out in DVD.

Summary: But I don't like British Humor
Review: I don't appreciate most British Humor, but I did watch these videos as a "favor" to my sister and I thoroughly enjoyed them. They are clever, imaginative, and very funny. Who amoung us didn't want to build a rocket in our basement or own Jetson type gadgets? Watch these videos when you need a little silliness to brighten your mood.

Summary: Smashing
Review: This three video set can be enjoyed by everyone in the family over and over and over. If you are a fan of claymation you need to have this set in your library. The most important fact about these videos is they're funny!

Summary: Charming, funny and well scripted features.
Review: A Grand Day Out is the first of the three videos in the Nick Park series. The plot revolves around Wallace and Gromit going to the moon to get some cheese -- cheese being a recurring theme throughout the series. Although the video was funny in its time, but pales in comparison to the more recent works. On its own, the video would rate three stars -- cute, but not something one would watch repeatedly. In The Wrong Trousers, Wallace has to take in a boarder because the cheese fund is a little low. The boarder, a penguin, has a sinister air about him, and subtly attempts to drive a wedge between Wallace and Gromit. When Wallace gives Gromit a pair of techno-trousers ("ex-NASA") for his birthday, the penguin sees the opportunity to further its nefarious scheme. Gromit discovers the true identity of the boarder and seeks to save Wallace from clay-hem. The chase scene is hilarious! On its own, the video would warrant five stars. A Close Shave is the third, and finest of the three. Wallace and Gromit are called to wash Gwendolyn's windows during a wool shortage. Wallace becomes smitten with Gwendolyn, especially when he discovers her father was an inventor. Romance could bloom, but Gwendolyns dog, Rex, has another agenda. When Gromit is framed for a crime he didn't commit (sheep killing), Wallace -- and a lot of sheep -- come to the rescue in a scene best described as a combination of James Bond, Jackie Chan and Lassie, all rolled into one. On its own, the video would be five stars. The videos do not contain any unsuitable language, but there is the cartoon- style, slapstick "violence." (It's very tame, however.) There are a lot of subtle things going on in the background, so adults will enjoy this as much as children.

Summary: I almost died laughing
Review: Wallace is a wacky (and somewhat clueless) British inventor. Gromit is his faithful dog who's facial expressions and attitude seem to show that he's the more intelligent of the two. In A Close Shave they team up with a sheep named Sean after he moves into their house and eats everything. In The Wrong Trousers a penguin moves into Gromit's room and, while masquarading as a chicken, hijacks Wallace's new invention. In A Grand Day Out, Wallace has run out of his favorite snack food and needs a vacation. He decides, "Cheese, we'll go someplace where there's cheese!" These are done by the same guys who made the movie Chicken Run. For claymation it's surprisingly detailed. Wallace's face lights up when he says the word cheese. Gromit rolls his eyes and glares when Wallace does stupid things (which is quite frequently). I only have one complaint: The episodes are all fairly short (about 20 minutes each). As soon as I finished watching them and got myself back under control I wished there was about three hours more.

Summary: Modern clay animation at its finest
Review: Lest you should wonder, the term "Claymation" is copyrighted by Will Vinton Studios and therefore does not apply here. Anyways, the crew at Aardman does things with clay that I can't figure out and I'm learning animation! But all the technical tricks don't mean much if a movie lacks a great story and characters. No worries here, of course, since Wallace and Gromit are two of the most endearing faces in modern animation. Gromit is a wonderful comedian without the aid of voice or mouth. This is a great collection that will probably sell even better with the release of "Chicken Run"
