Wallace and Gromit Come to the Big Screen
I've been a Wallace and Gromit fan (and a fan of AArdman
Animations) for
quite a few years now, ever since catching the original trio of shorts
on PBS.
Chicken Run, the first feature film offering from Aardman Animations was decent, but far from the whimsical, oddball fun that Wallace and Gromit always seem to find themselves in.
Finally, Wallace and Gromit have gotten their own feature film and I was so excited upon hearing that news a year ago that I forced myself to forget about the project so that time would pass more quickly. My theory was that my swiss cheese brain would drop that tidbit of information, and Wallace and Gromit would simply be out the next time I thought about it.
Amazingly the tactic worked, and the movie is now in theaters! You can bet we'll be going to see it soon, perhaps in Rochester on our trip this weekend.
In the meantime, you can read the outstanding and lovingly written New York Times review, play around at the official site watch the featurette at apple, and check out lots more great shorts by AArdman Animations at AArdman.com
