Horst in Translation ([email protected]) Do not be fooled by the description "television series" for this 2002 movie here. Well, you could see it as a series that consists of several extremely short snippets, but I prefer to perceive it as one 20-minute short movie. It is maybe the least known project involving the two famous protagonists. It's probably not really a good watch if you have not seen anything else with the duo, but if you are familiar with the franchise, including the very early short films, then this is a nice little addition. Maybe it's a bit too much action and one or two inventions too many for such a short runtime, but it's not bad by any means. And it was nice to have Sallis' unique and spot-on voice for the entire thing. All in all, I recommend this one. The animation is the same as always with these two. It's a decent little watch and another worthy addition to Nick Park's basically flawless body of work. I would say it's not the best W&G film (that would be the one with the evil penguin, nice reference here too about penguins turning), but also not the worst. Thumbs up.
ccthemovieman-1 I've always gotten a kick out of Wallace's inventions to this collection of 10 two-minute "shorts" was great fun for me. Each one is about a different invention. Most of them, if not all, had flaws but they also worked pretty darn well, too. Regardless, all of them were fun. I laughed at things I saw in all 10 of them.Not only was the humor outstanding but the DVD picture was great, too, and I used the subtitles to further enjoy listening to the many British expressions our Mad Inventor uses. I just loved everything about this.Apparently, many of these little stories were made before these two animated characters became famous, first in Britain and now worldwide. I wouldn't know where the start in picking out my favorites but the first one, with Gromit showing his goaltender skills, was tough to beat. In all of these, Wallace's comments and Gromit's expressions are priceless.If you own the "Wallace & Gromit Three Major Adventures" DVD, don't pass up these bonus feature.
tigrerippy3 Wallace and Gromit are Oscar winning stars that are in 3 famous short films.And in 2002 they are come to our TV screens with Wallace and Gromit's cracking contraptions.Nick park and the crew have made this the same style as the shorts and the feature film.I love these, they made me grin then laugh then scream with joy! I like snowmanatron best.It is funny and a good scene to watch.So now with more success Wallace and Gromit are coming to the CBBC channel with a 40-part series with Shaun the sheep.As we know a lot of people love Shaun but my best is the evil robot/cooker from Wallace and Gromit's first film, a grand day out.If you don't like cracking contraptions you are not a real Fan.So stay tuned to CBBC for more Adventures.
emasterslake These here are a collection of 2 minute shorts of Wallace and Gromit.They were made 3 years before the movie and 6 years after the Close Shave.What's cool about them is each one features a different new gadget.A lot of the gadgets are cool looking too.Still features Peter Sallis as Wallace. And Gromit is still a smart dog.Sure each one is short, but if you see them all at once, that's like seeing a 20 minute short film.There's at least one laugh to each of the shorts. Some of them might features something familiar from the 3 old shorts too.This collection of shorts is a must see for all the die hard Wallace and Gromit fans out there.These use to be shorts only shown in England, but now it's easier to see now that it's released on the new Wallace and Gromit DVD.I give this collection an 8 out of 10.
