Wallace and Gromit are back!

I will admit I fell asleep during the first watch but but I blame the massive meal beforehand for that! Enjoyed it immensely the second time round and loved the easter eggs.

I was exhausted from the day and having hosted my family. However, I stayed awake and watched it. I thought it was great fun for everyone watching.

It wasn’t Wrong Trousers or a Grand Day Out, they’ll always hold a special place but it was enjoyable. Good to see them still going strong with it.

What a cracking effort, so many easter eggs to spot

It was alright. The joy from W&G is basically the audience sympathising and routing for Gromit. There was plenty of Gromit action which was great. The gnomes were a mixed bag as they were cool when they were in ‘creepy mode’ but insufferable otherwise.

Feather’s McGraw is a one note joke already spent, which worked well in the Wrong Trousers but couldn’t prop up a film length feature IMO.

There was a little bit of ‘growth’ in the commentary re: relying on technology but they message was a little mixed in the end. I though that A Matter of Loaf and Death was better in that regard with the romantic interests adding something fresh, especially for Gromit.

A Close Shave remains my fav.

Just about sums it up for me. It was OK but not a patch on the original classics. The gnomes were a bit annoying and I thought the scenes with Feather McGraw were the best.

I loved it personally, it’s never going to touch something I watched as a kid and all the memories that come with it, but I thought it was a good watch and I’m hoping there’s another to come.

100% thought it was brilliant. Story was much more "acceptable" for younger ones compared to A Close Shave which is a bit scary tbh. Wrong trousers is good; a grand day out is brilliant and an easy watch given run time is so low.

Another great aardman film, watched it twice and the kids loved it. Some great puns.

I need to watch it properly as I had it on, but with all the hecticness of Christmas I only caught bits of it. I did watch the original 3 shorts before Christmas though, and I forgot how much I loved them. They're up there with Toy Story for me as being hugely influential in my love of animation.

Hot. Will watch.

Watched, was hot.

Eldest daughter has a bit of a scary brain worm ref: zombies (thanks Zombie Magic Mixie episode and Sing Halloween special ) so we were on the edge with the dead eyes and movement of the evil Norbots, but we made it through without any undue tears.

I strongly suggest you guys take a quick look at the Wallace and Grommet Fan Club on Facebook. Some right anoraks that have discovered all the easter eggs lol. Some brilliant ones.
