Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Tweekums By now most people, at least here in Britain, will be familiar with Claymation duo Wallace and Gromit and this is where it all started. Wallace is a Lancastrian man with a taste for cheese and Gromit his dog who actually seems to be the more intelligent of the two.As the story opens they are trying to decide where to go on their holidays; then Wallace realises that they are out of cheese… so decides to head to the moon as everybody knows it is made of cheese. We soon see that Wallace is also a bit of an inventor as he designs a rocket then builds it with Gromit. They get there and settle down to have a picnic… and find the moon is in fact made of cheese. They also find a coin operated machine which when activated doesn't approve of the damage the visitors are doing to the moon… it also sees a travel magazine they brought and dreams of skiing!This isn't the best of the Wallace and Gromit shorts but it is still a lot of fun and does a great job introducing the now familiar characters. The story is fun in a way that can be enjoyed by everybody from young children to the elderly. There is a great inventiveness about the story; I loved the fact that Wallace is an ordinary person; of course it helps that Peter Sallis does such a fine job providing the voice of the character. Gromit is equally good; managing to be a great character without making a sound; the way he is animated brilliantly shows what he is thinking though. Interestingly there is no real antagonist in this story… the machine on the moon isn't really malicious even though it provides a mild level of threat. Overall I'd definitely recommend this to Claymation fans; it is a must see for all fans of Wallace and Gromit of course.

bscrivener-50810 A Grand Day Out originally aired in 1989 at the Bristol Animation Festival and later broadcast on Christmas Eve in 1990. After 8 years of production Nick Park introduces us in this short, but sweet film to the now legendary characters of Wallace and Gromit. What Park accomplished within a 23 minute run time and using nothing more than a camera a pile of Plasticine is nothing short of astounding. In the short, Wallace and Gromit decide to take a trip to the moon after they run out of cheese to bring back to Earth, after they become bored during a Bank Holiday (this is based on an old folklore tale that the moon is made of cheese.) While there they meet an old rusted gas cooker that initially attempts to see them off before having a rather humorous dream of becoming a skier. Despite the character models and sets not being as refined as the follow-up shorts 'The Wrong Trousers' and 'A Close Shave' also not particularly having a complex or well developed plot. A Grand Day Out is still to this day is a brilliant work of art. With a simplistic, but stylish design and plot, some humorous and witty moments for both kids and adults to enjoy and more importantly packed with plenty of charm as well as a pleasing and satisfying finale. A Grand Day Out is a bold statement to how much of an impact a simple stop-motion clay animation short has on the world of film. 8/10

SnoopyStyle Wallace wonders what to do for the bank holiday. He finds that he's run out of cheese and decides to go on a cheese vacation. He and his dog Gromit build a rocket and travel to the moon. While sampling the moon cheese, they encounter a robot set up as a vending machine. The robot gets fascinated from Wallace's travel magazine about skiing.Nick Park has created one of the funnier claymation characters in this 23 minute short. They are fun together. Wallace is great as the clueless inventor and Gromit is the smarter of the two. They are just fun together like an old married couple. The claymation also gives a charm to the animation. It's a great start for these characters.

Polaris_DiB "Gromit, we've forgotten the crackers!" Wallace and Gromit are very funny, very cute little claymation characters that go on adventures so that everybody can have a good time. In this short, they go to the moon, because everyone knows it's made out of cheese, and cheese is what they want. When they get there, it's a bit different than they expected, but that doesn't stop them from exploring around and running into a little mischief with a robot thing that happens to be left there (and take Earthling money, too...).It's quite a charming little duo, this Wallace and Gromit. Wallace is the inventor with a smile on his face and the plans to do whatever he fancies, while Gromit is his concerned protector, chasing after him to make sure his master is okay. The claymation is of the finest sort, with their expressions perfect and a lot of depth to their eyes.Just remember: don't forget the crackers.--PolarisDiB
