I haven’t received this DVD yet but if it lives up to the other Aardvark productions … what’s not to like???
GREAT!

I was expecting the feature-length film and got 30 minutes. What a huge disappointment. Amazon should refund our money or send us the real version. Shame on Amazon! I hope I can get a copy of the 4-disc FEATURE-LENGTH film someday.

I have to say I am shocked by the bad reviews on this Wallace & Gromit short. The only thing I would criticize is that they altered it to fit to a standard screen instead of the wide screen. But I knew going into it that it was another 30 minute short like Wrong Trousers or Close Shave.
As an adult who loves stop-motion animation and Wallace & Gromit, I was not let down. I enjoyed the story. The animation was fantastic. And it was full of the usual style of W&G gags (wonderful contraptions, something highly amusing that Gromit is reading, silly puns/double-entendres). I enjoyed the dark storyline. Sure, it may be a bit much for small children… but who says all animation is intended for small children?
By the way, the reviews on the UK Amazon website for this DVD are excellent.

If you like Wallace and Gromit, then you will not be disappointed. My 8 year old son had watched it 3 times during the first day we got it in the mail

Sadly, there comes a time when the creative juices have dried up. I realize everyone needs some money but for the creators, producers and dependents to drag out the same old old material and haphazardly toss it into a story that goes no where is an embarrassment to Wallace and Gromit in their retirement years. And, all done for the money. Sad, sad, sad.
