Wallace & Gromit in Three Amazing Adventures 1989-1995
d. Nick Park
The first three programs of Nick Park's award-winning stop-motion animated series WALLACE & GROMIT are compiled here.
In A GRAND DAY OUT (1989), which took Park more than six years to make, ingenious inventor Wallace and his smarter-than-average dog, Gromit, build a rocket ship and travel to the moon in a quest for cheese.
In THE WRONG TROUSERS (1993), Wallace's invention, a device that transports him out of his bed, dresses him, and prepares his breakfast, malfunctions one morning. It plops him in the "wrong trousers," a pair of mechanized pants, which take him on a wild ride. Meanwhile, the domestic bliss of Wallace and Gromit is shattered when a mysterious penguin leases a room in their home.
Finally, in A CLOSE SHAVE (1995), love nearly melts Wallace's heart when he meets Wendolene Ramsbottom, a yarn-shop proprietor with a menacing mutt and a dark secret. Meanwhile, poor Gromit is accused of turning the local sheep into mutton meat. Can Wallace bust Gromit out of jail and catch the real culprit in time to share a bit of cheese with his newfound love? The femme-fatale story gets the claymation treatment in Park's third Wallace and Gromit story, which won Park yet another Academy Award.

I have to say that watching these short films again after years was really great. It's nice to see movies like this again.
