Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

bscrivener-50810 Following up from the 1989 short A Grand Day Out, Nick Park and Aardman Studios revive the legendary duo Wallace and Gromit in their second adventure, The Wrong Trousers in what is possibly the greatest short film of all time. In this instalment, Wallace is struggling financially and decides to rent out a room to the public as a source of income, here we are introduced to one of Aardman's most ambitious characters, Feathers McGraw, a sinister and silent penguin criminal mastermind and the main antagonist. Meanwhile, It is also Gromit's birthday and he receives a gift from Wallace, a pair of 'techno trousers.' AKA 'The Wrong Trousers' After being forced out of his room and Wallace bonding with the penguin, Gromit feels sidelined and decides to move out. In a distressingly sad, overwhelmingly heartbreaking and gut- wrenching scene signifying the brief end to a deep bonding friendship. This then leads on to the penguin being able to commit to his evil deeds and use the naive Wallace as a way to steal a priceless diamond. This then later leads us too the brilliantly created train-chase sequence (arguably one of the best third acts ever), adding bursts of tension and humour at the same time, before ending with a cheerful and crowd-pleasing finally. As an analysis for the short what sticks out the most is how so many of the crucial moments and impactful scenes are told through visual expression and gestures between the two silent characters, Gromit and Feathers. The tense stand-offs and battle of wits between the two to gain the upper-hand on one another lead to some of the best visual storytelling to date in any film. Overall, The Wrong Trousers packs humour, tension, visual storytelling, drama, action, adventure, and emotion (both love and rivalry) all into one 30 minute masterpiece. Each scene is relevant to the developing plot and the story with very little exposition used. The Wrong Trousers truly is Aardman's magnum opus and greatest achievement to date, being a milestone in both stop-motion and animation. 10/10

jasper102011 Wallace and gromit have had some amazing great adventures with some of the best short films ever! This just reaches No.1 of there best even if a grand day out and a close shave are masterpieces of their own. The story is well done with the most funniest animated villain in years (my opinion) and really good claymation (the rain is top notch and were talking about clay) its just great!The humour is really improved from a grand day out not because the previous short was not funny but this got me choking at one point. Some of the best humour but what surprises me is the sadness with the scene with gromit running awayI recommend this one the most, I would hate someone who hates it but It would be worse if you never seen it. It got the mood and drama perfect A MUST!!!!!

Tweekums It is hard to believe that this classic short is almost twenty years old and it is as good now as when I first saw it. Wallace and Gromit first appeared in 'A Grand Day Out' and that was a fine story but this, their second outing, is better! The story opens on Gromit's birthday and he is not impressed with his present; a pair of techno-trousers that will take him for a walk while Wallace is free to stay indoors. As the bills are piling up Wallace decides to take in a paying lodger; this lodger turns out to be a rather sinister penguin who wastes no time taking over Gromit's position in the household. It soon becomes apparent that the penguin is even worse than we suspected; he reprograms the techno-trousers and replaces the control panel with a remote control so he can send Wallace to steal a priceless diamond while he is fast asleep! Untimately it will be up to Gromit to save the day! Nick Park and Aardman animation have become bywords for quality stop go animation and this is largely down to films like this; it packs a full story into thirty minutes and the plasticine figures have more character than many real actors. Of course it helps that they have the wonderful Peter Sallis to provide the voice of Wallace. The story is told in a way that is funny, exciting and even a little bit tense at times! The final chase scene on the model train is a classic which belongs in any list of top chase scenes. If you haven't seen this yet you really should the next chance you get whatever your age... it is great for adults and children alike without relying on in-jokes that only adults will get.

Rabster22 Forget that you are watching an animation (not at all difficult with this masterpiece.) What would you like to see in a film? A great story? You got it. Action, suspense, emotion? You get that too. How about a liberal dose of comedy but also some pathos? No worries! First rate acting? Fear not, Gromit can 'act' the socks off half of Hollywood. This film never ceases, from the build up to the not one but *two* "set-piece" classic scenes and an array of sight-gags that simply delight. This is half an hour of pure genius, unlikely to be matched ever unless Mr. Park and his gang can do it. Awarding a perfect 10 is not always easy (for me) I tend to have niggling doubts but with this gem it was always a "no-brainer."
