Description:
They have already won two Oscars, three BAFTAs and numerous other awards, and now, here comes their first full-length feature film. They are Wallace and Gromit, the stop-motion clay animation characters from Aardman Animation (the company that hatched the hilarious Chicken Run five years ago).
Wallace (voiced, as always, by the actor, Peter Sallis – probably best known for his starring role in the long-running series, Last of the Summer Wine) is an inventor and Gromit is his faithful dog and - truth be known - the real brains behind the outfit. The movie sees them enjoying a big success with their humane pest control set-up
They have already won two Oscars, three BAFTAs and numerous other awards, and now, here comes their first full-length feature film. They are Wallace and Gromit, the stop-motion clay animation characters from Aardman Animation (the company that hatched the hilarious Chicken Run five years ago).
Wallace (voiced, as always, by the actor, Peter Sallis – probably best known for his starring role in the long-running series, Last of the Summer Wine) is an inventor and Gromit is his faithful dog and - truth be known - the real brains behind the outfit. The movie sees them enjoying a big success with their humane pest control set-up named, amusingly, “Anti-Pesto”. The reason for the boom in business is the approaching annual Giant Vegetable Competition.
Trouble threatens the competition when a huge and mysterious creature begins to attack and gobble down the town’s prized vegetable plots. Lady Campanula Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter), the competition’s kind and compassionate hostess, enlists the help of Wallace and Gromit.
Not so likable is the proud, pompous and penniless aristocrat, Lord Victor Quartermaine (Ralph Fiennes) whose heartless solution to the problem is to shoot the marauding monster – and, at the same time, he believes, win Lady Tottington’s hand in marriage. To save the competition, the reluctant Lady Tottington is forced to allow Victor to carry out his plan…unless Wallace and Gromit can solve the mystery of the vegie chomping beastie!
