    Wallace & Gromit?s first outing is brilliant. Is low on dialogue and the animation is a bit rough around the edges but it?s a classic.

    The animation is a bit rough but pretty good for one of the early stories.

    A classic Wallace and Gromit short which youve just gotta love.

    The 'Wallace and Gromit' short films began with this micro-budget work of wonder. It proves just how time-consuming animating with clay is - Nick Park made this almost entirely by himself, taking six years to create this half-hour-long film - yet also how inexpensive animating wi...( read more)th clay is (the film cost £11,000). It may be the worst of the 'Wallace and Gromit' films so far, both in terms of the animation and the story, but it's still a great film with not much dialogue, but the little dialogue there is is brilliant and memorable. Made for a school project, Nick Park ran out of money and time and completed the film at the Aardman animation company, where he made the next films in the 'Wallace and Gromit' sequals.

    Wallace and Gromit's first outing is a delightful story of travelling to the moon when they run out of cheese. Great British touches of humour everywhere which shows the comedic nature of the creator to the full.

    This short was nominated for the Academy Award. It introduces us to Wallace and Gromit. Interestingly, the stars are less appealing than one of the supporting characters: the little whatever-it-is they run into on their jaunt to the moon for cheese. This little critter apparently...( read more) wants to be Jean-Claude Killy when it grows up. The best parts of a very fine short are with this odd little entity, whatever it happens to be. Fine beginning to a great series that's gotten better as it goes along. Recommended to those few souls who haven't seen it yet.
