New Wallace and Gromit Episodes Coming Online

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the porridge-today-gromit dept.

chachi5000 noted that CNN is running a story about Aardman releasing Wallace and Gromit Shorts Online. There will be a dozen of the one minute clips featuring the awesome plasticine duo. Also bits about the feature film coming in (sigh) a few years. Anyone who hasn't seen the existing Wallace and Gromit trilogy is missing out.

  1. The Wrong Powered Exoskeleton! by spun · · Score: 5, Funny
    Funny, this being right above the article on powered exoskeletons. I wonder if they will be remote controlled and able to walk up walls?

    Cracking good cheese, Gromit!

      And not a day since measuring the distance from the Earth to the Moon was posted. You KNOW that Wallace is behind this one as well.

      There's some good cheese up there, you know.

  2. A few years? Sooner than that... by bravehamster · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ain't it Cool News had a story on this earlier. Looks like the title will be The Great Vegetable Plot and the director is shooting for a release 2 years from now. Here's to hoping it turns out better than Chicken Run, which just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. *shrug*. I just can't make myself care about the well-being of chickens, which are so darn tasty. ;)

  3. NetNanny and this Article ... by pgrote · · Score: 5, Funny

    Read the article and enjoyed. Will be funnier than anything to see the inventions.

    As I read the last part:

    "Park has now expanded the idea to make them into mini-movies where Gromit demonstrates the innovations, which include a high-powered cricket ball bowling gun and a toaster-cum-TV."

    I had an idea. I ran to my daughter's room where her PC is protected by Net Nanny and put the url in. No go :-) You gotta love the protection it provides. :-)

  7. toaster-cum-TV? by glh · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow, I didn't know a toaster could do all that! I mean, is that the greatest thing since sliced bread or what??

    Sorry, couldn't help it. Seriously, is that some kind of British thing? Can someone translate?

    "I mean, humour is humour"

    I think that's the problem right there. In America, humour is humor.

    Well obviously American humour is lacking something then :)
