5.0 out of 5 stars All Classics, 16 Aug 2009
The original Wallace and Gromit half-hour adventures. And it's easy to see why the series became as popular as it did!

A Grand Day Out -
Wallace and Gromit go to the moon because Wallace is out of cheese. Probably the weakest of the adventures but still a lot of fun and you have to forgive the slight amateur feel as it was their first outing on a very low budget. Many good jokes to keep you amused though, particularly during the scene in which they build the rocket.

The Wrong Trousers -
An evil penguin lodges with Wallace and Gromit and has some very interesting plans involving Wallace's new invention. Best of the bunch, with a strong intriguing plot, a fantasticamount of tension, a terrifying villain (despite the fact that he doesn't speak or even change his facial expressions!) and a climactic train-top chase that can easily rival anything Michal Bay can make!

A Close Shave -
Wallace falls for local wool shop owner Wendolene after she employs their new window-cleaning service but Gromit has his suspicions about her pet dog. This one comes a very close second behind The Wrong Trousers, with another exciting and very funny plot. The introduction of a second speaking character doesn't in any way detract from the relationship between the two leads, the non-verbal bad guy is again very threatening and the climactic action scene this time covers a whole third of the running time! Also features the debut of Shaun the Sheep, who was so popular he went on to star in his own series.

All three -
All the adventures offer something for everyone, both kooky characters and colourful settings for the kids, as well as witty one-liners and intelligent plots for the adults. The animation is great, and it's nice to see the slightly more hand-made look to these three films, as opposed to the more polished Hollywood look of the next two (which are also fantastic). Recommended for anyone of any age with a sense of adventure and an even better sense of humour!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic fun, 18 Feb 2009
By Lasse Enersen (Ballerup Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The origin of "wallace and Gromit". Seen after "The curse of the ware rabbit" you realise how little conversation there was in the beginning.
A must for all fans of "Wallace and Gromit".

5.0 out of 5 stars British Classics, loved it ....but only 1 tincy problem, 20 Nov 2009
This DVD feature the 3 classic Wallace and Gromit's by Aardman, A GrandDay Out , The Wrong Trousers & A Close Shave.

The only tincy problem I have are the were some edits to the classics e.g When Gromit opens his musical birthday card it plays "for he's a jolly good fellow" instead of the orginal tune, and some scenes have music ovalay. Its not such a problem but for the die-hard fans it may seem "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

But it is still wonderfull neverless

It is must buy for all

You can't give 6 stars but it defiantly earns it

5.0 out of 5 stars totally awesome for little kids and adults, 6 Nov 2009
My two year old granddaughter never saw Wallace & Grommit before receiving the video we bought for her at Amazon.co.uk. Now she watches it alllllll the time, begging to see it again and again. The disk was delivered right on time, in good condition & is a delight for both baby and parents.

Who doesn't want this DVD - a collection of the first 3 movies, at such a bargain price. A great stocking filler! The children love it, and all the little adults-only jokes still make me chuckle! - GO ON, TREAT YOURSELF!
