The Wrong Trousers


"The Wrong Trousers" is the second Wallace and Gromit adventure from animator Nick Park.

The plot sees Wallace, voiced by Peter Sallis, being used by an evil penguin to steal a diamond from a museum using mechanical trousers. Yes, that's right. It sounds totally ridiculous, but it's probably one of the best examples of animation and claymation ever.

It's a mark of the animators skill that the whole story can basically by told through the looks on the characters faces. Wallace is the only character that talks, and even he doesn't say loads. Gromit the dog is adorable throughout, always looking out for his master. The part where he hides in the cardboard box and has to cut out eyeholes is genius.

But the best part of the 30 minute film is probably the train chase at the end. How they managed to make that, I'll never know. It's so funny aswell.

It's entertaining, something that all ages can enjoy and laugh at. I defy anyone to watch it and not enjoy it.

10/10
