To me, this movie is perfection.

Good concept, poorly executed.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

This is considered the best offering from Wallace and Gromit, and although I love Close Shave just as much, I cannot disagree. Gromit steals the show with his facial expressions and his attempts to foil the plans of that cute but evil penguin. Peter Sallis again does a superlative job, and I must say he sounds more confident than he did in Grand Day Out, while the visuals especially the character designs have more finesse and the music is rousing. I loved the scenes in the museum, and my favourite scene was the train scene, towards the end. The trousers idea was a great idea, and it worked to an advantage. In conclusion, a hilarious short, and my advice to anybody who hasn't yet seen it, is do so now, because you'll never regret it! 10/10 Bethany Cox.

Wallace and Grommit: The Wrong Trousers: The Good, the Bad, and the UglyWallace and Grommit make a great team when they star in Nick Park's Claymation short The Wrong Trousers. But, as in most movies, this one has the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.The Good: A great plot. A pair of techno-trousers. A sinister penguin. A diamond robbery. An amazing train chase scene. And, of course, cheese. Every one of these things alone makes this short definitely worthy of the 1993 Academy Award for the Best Animated Short. The Bad: Why do the techno-trousers walk away at the end of the movie? Is it because Feathers McGraw got away? Do the wrong trousers have another evil controller? The Ugly: There were three mistakes that I caught while watching the movie. The first was when Feathers is making Grommit wait for the bathroom. Wallace passes Grommit fully dressed. The next scene shows Wallace in a bathrobe—not dressed in everyday clothes like he was a few seconds earlier. The next shows Grommit when he cut out a piece of cardboard to spy on Feathers McGraw. We don't see that little piece when we should. The last is right before the chase scene. Grommit is dangling from a light fixture with a light bulb in it, which Feathers shoots down. Next it shows Grommit with the fixture on his head. No crash of the bulb.Overall, it is a movie worth watching—great for kids and adults alike.

Forget that you are watching an animation (not at all difficult with this masterpiece.) What would you like to see in a film? A great story? You got it. Action, suspense, emotion? You get that too. How about a liberal dose of comedy but also some pathos? No worries! First rate acting? Fear not, Gromit can 'act' the socks off half of Hollywood. This film never ceases, from the build up to the not one but *two* "set-piece" classic scenes and an array of sight-gags that simply delight. This is half an hour of pure genius, unlikely to be matched ever unless Mr. Park and his gang can do it. Awarding a perfect 10 is not always easy (for me) I tend to have niggling doubts but with this gem it was always a "no-brainer."

Wallace and Gromit first came to my attention about ten years ago when I saw the film "A Grand Day Out" on TV. An excellent short which I gave a 9/10. "The Wrong Trousers" is even better.Wallace is an English inventor with a love for cheese, crackers and his cup of tea. Gromit is his dog, and the star of the shorts. He doesn't talk at all, but he doesn't have to, all is said through facial expressions and body language, and done perfectly so. Gromit is the work of a comedy genius.In this short Wallace is short of money, so he puts up a room in his house for rent. Soon after a penguin, yes a penguin, turns up at his door. Like Gromit, he doesn't talk at all. The penguin takes great interest in Wallaces new invention, a pair of remote controlled metallic trousers.I won't tell anymore, you'll have to see for yourself, but all the thirty minutes we are served very clever comedic details, you'll find more and more the each time you see it, generally a lot of craziness and especially "the train-scene" which will make you laugh your head of. A must see. 10/10
