VHS Movie Reviews of Wallace & Gromit - The Wrong Trousers
Movie Review: Here's to Paying Guests!
Summary: 5 Stars
Brilliant. Completely brilliant.
The story. The animation. The dry humor. Wallace's relatively few lines. The penguin's even fewer lines. This is some of the best animation I've ever seen, and, well, ranks right up there with televised entertainment of ANY kind.
"It's the wrong trousers! The wrong trousers!" Hilarious.
Movie Review: "Cracking toast, Gromit!"
Summary: 5 Stars
This British claymation film features bumbling inventor Wallace and his dog, Gromit. It's Gromit's birthday, and to his horror, Wallace gives him not only a collar and leash, but a mechanical, walking pair of trousers to take him out on "walkies." To make matters worse, a mysterious penguin has moved in, taken over Gromit's room, and, it seems, his spot in Wallace's heart. Gromit leaves home and discovers the penguin is the notorious criminal "Feathers," who plans to use the mechanical pants to steal a priceless diamond.
The story is very clever, and the claymation completely enchanted me. It's very droll and sly, often poignant, and really, really funny. Clever Gromit, absent-minded Wallace, and the sinister penguin are comic characters you can enjoy over and over. This Academy Award-winning film can be enjoyed by all ages, and I think adults may laugh even louder than the children.

Movie Review: Stunning Magnificence!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is Wallace & Gromit's first adventure and probably the best one too. The animation is different and the results are stunning. Not much do you see clay animated videos like this. The story in this video is: When Wallace is short on money, he decides to rent his spare room out to a mysterious but charming little penguin named Feathers McGraw. He is very nice to Wallace and does almost everything for him but Gromit suspects that he is up to no good and he is right. Feathers has taken control of the techno trousers for a little heist at the local museum. Can Wallace and Gromit stop him in time. Again, great video, get it today.Movie Review: Great goofiness
Summary: 5 Stars
This is about the best stop action animation ("claymation") ever. It's a clever and kid-safe movie, but it's also an incredible technical achievement.
The plot is well within the range of any five year old: a home inventor creates a wonderful but ridiculous device, an evil-doer puts it to criminal use, thre's a great chase scene, the bad guy ends up behind bars, and the righteous live happily ever after.
The real fun is in the characters, the little details of the script, and especially in the stop-action animation. Nick Park has put together a perfect blend of characters, voices, and background music, all in the serivce of his wonderful clay figurines.
There's no way I could describe this and do it justice. You'll just have to see it for yourself - then see it again and again.

Movie Review: Cheeky British Humor For Children and Adults!
Summary: 5 Stars
A delightful duo, Wallace and Grommit deliver plenty of laughs in these wonderful adventures. The producers spared no expense on the charming and detailed sets, and the voice of Peter Sallis (who also did the voice of Rat in the classic claymation series The Wind in the Willows) is perfect for the character of Wallace. A MUST SEE for the whole family. Wry British humor. Fantastic!
Summary of Wallace & Gromit - The Wrong Trousers
Clay-animation master Nick Park deservedly won the 1993 Academy Award for Best Animated Short for this 30-minute masterpiece, in which the good-natured inventor Wallace and his trusty dog, Gromit, return for another grand adventure. It all begins on the morning of Gromit's birthday, when Wallace gives his beloved pooch the gift of his latest invention--a pair of mechanical "techno-trousers" that can be programmed to take Gromit out for "walkies" while Wallace sits comfortably at home. Gromit's not exactly thrilled with the new gadget, and things go from bad to worse when Wallace rents a room to a new boarder--a rather suspicious-looking penguin--to offset his rising expenses. As it turns out, the penguin's a notorious thief, and the amazing techno-trousers provide a foolproof method of pulling off a diamond heist! It's Gromit's big opportunity for canine heroics, and The Wrong Trousers turns into one of the funniest, most inventive caper-comedies ever made, with an action-packed climax on a speeding miniature train. Will the notorious "Feathers" wind up in jail where he belongs? Will Gromit finally get his due recognition? Watch this amazing marvel of clay animation to see why Wallace & Gromit have become global celebrities--this is comedic ingenuity at its finest. --Jeff ShannonStop-Motion & Clay Animation Video
