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.

    Well, obviously they won't be telling whole stories -- they'll be individual gags. To save you the bother of actually reading the story: the idea is that each one is a demonstration (by Gromit) of one of Wallace's inventions.

    They already have lots of other stuff here, at AtomFilms, but this is reallly cool! I love Aardman Animations, they are great! Some of my favorites are Creature Comforts (done by Nick Park) and Pib and Pog (two little kids playing around with sulfuric acid, lol, priceless).

    For all ye to know cum is latin for "with."

    This could then translate as "toaster with TV," and all the sexually active minds would stop.

    What a notion!
