Absolutely seconded on the Shaun the Sheep movies (including A Close Shave) and series - and if you've got super little ones, Timmy Time is fantastic (or even if you don't - come for the adorable Timmy, stay for his wee badger friend who's constantly sleepy because he's nocturnal). And 100% on The Wrong Trousers - a Grand Day Out was fun, but The Wrong Trousers is what made W&G so beloved. Also, if you get a chance, check out the celebration of the Great British Public that is Creature Comforts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW2bSO2j6Lo

Kristen, can I use this platform to beg everyone who hasn't already seen 'Shaun The Sheep' to go straight to their nearest streaming service? My family and I saw it first at an afternoon showing, enhanced by the unfettered giggles and hoots of the thrilled under-five kid behind us - the perfect audience!

(sod giving 'The Artist' an Oscar just because it doesn't have dialogue, IMHO the Academy should have waited till 2015 and given it to a much better silent movie)

Thank you for this because I, too, need to see Shaun the Sheep.

I was a little bit disappointed with Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but the other films are great, and I share your love of The Wrong Trousers.

You have some great films in store for you. Kristin~!

I can't wait to see this! I found the first Wallace & Gromit film, 'A Grand Day Out', to be a little slow, but I think 'The Wrong Trousers' is basically perfect, and 'A Close Shave' and 'Curse of the Were-Rabbit' are also pretty great.

I’m a huge fan of Wallace & Gromit and of Aardman, in general. So excited for VENGEANCE MOST FOWL! It’s been ages since CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT. More Wallace & Gromit is always a good thing. I’m so happy you enjoyed this!
