While poring over stacks of travel magazines, Wallace suggests that the pair break for a hot cup of tea and some cheese. When he discovers that there's no cheese to be found anywhere in the house, he hits upon an ideal place for a picnic: "Everybody knows the moon's made of cheese." With Gromit's help, he immediately starts construction on a rocket ship, and before long the two are walking on (and tasting) the lunar surface. As they continue to explore, they are blissfully unaware that they -- and their rocket -- are being watched by a creature that has dreams and aspirations of its own. ~ Emru Townsend, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
This is the first, and my favorite, of the three clay-animated "Wallace and Gromit" shorts.
-
Steve Biodrowski, ESplatter
In retrospect, the film is entertaining but not as impressive as its successors
-
Luke Y. Thompson, New Times
Nick Park is a genius. Enough said.

A quest for cheese has never been more gutbustingly funny.
