Along with the new Wallace and Gromit feature, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Bristol's Aardman Studio has now produced three short films, along with a series of 10 mini-features, all staring our claymation heroes. If you're a Wallace and Gromit fan you are sure to have an opinion not just about which is the best - but which particular scenes stand out above the rest. Purists tend to go for Nick Park's first feature A Grand Day Out, which introduced the world to the dotty inventor and his highly intelligent pooch, as they build a rocket and head off to the moon in search of the perfect cheese. And the moment in The Wrong Trousers when the dastardly Penguin forces a devastated Gromit out into the rain is a real tear-jerker, showing just how much emotion can be wrung from a piece of modelling clay. Then of course if you're a bit of a softy, Shaun the Sheep and A Close Shave is going to be your bag - though in psychopathic Preston the dog, Nick Park gave us a villain to send shivers down the spines of younger viewers. My own favourite moment is in A Grand Day Out when a perplexed Wallace cannot understand why his rocket won't take off - until his clever canine Gromit releases the handbrake. While my nine-year-old son's favourite Wallace and Gromit moment comes during The Wrong Trousers, when naughty penguin Feathers uses Wallace's techno trousers against him, to climb a museum wall and steal an enormous diamond. We asked a few people in the BBC newsroom for their favourite clip: Steve Yabsley, BBC Radio Bristol presenter: "There are many classic moments in Wallace and Gromit - the sheep on the bike, the fantastic train chase, etc - but I enjoy the silly little jokes that the films are littered with. "A particular favourite is when the crooked penguin in The Wrong Trousers - Feathers McGraw - leaves the house to steal some jewels. His chosen disguise is brilliant - he pulls a rubber washing up glove on his head and pretends to be a chicken. It's so simple - yet so effective. " BBC Points West presenter Chris Vacher is also a Wrong Trousers fan: "I love the bit where Gromit is being chased by the Penguin on the model train and he fills in the track as he goes along.
"His growing desperation is marvellous and it's nail-biting stuff. With perfect timing the Penguin finally comes to grief and he's saved!
"Here, and in so many parts of the film, it's their faces that are the best bits... showing superb expressions and you wonder how the animators get the timing so right when they are actually making tiny movements of the Plasticine millisecond by millisecond!"
BBC weatherman Richard Angwin is a big Wallace and Gromit fan and it's A Grand Day Out that provides him with his favourite moment. "Wallace cutting off chunks of moon rock - 'Wensleydale? Gorgonzola? Tastes like no cheese I've ever tasted'." |
