"I'm just crackers about cheese!"
I've fallen into cartoon heaven all over again. Wallace and Gromit is FANTABULOUS! (yes, it's not a real word....but who cares!) Their production has been a claymation stepping stone and it's pure genius. Over the past few days, I've watch Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit at least 5 times. Those bunnies are absolutely the best! The first 10 mins are my favorite. The first time I watched Wallace and Gromit was in physics class in high school. Occasionally, our physics teacher (I vaguely remember we would call him Gonzo......::tsk tsk:: students those days) would take a break from teaching and he'd put on Wallace and Gromit. After my first viewing, I'd dream of any upcoming day where he'd just put aside such instructional daily tedium and treat our eyes with the bald cheese addicted Brit and the prodigy dog. Until recently, these cherished characters have drifted into the background as my life has zipped by but now, I've paused to once again enjoy my portion of cartoon heaven that is Wallace and Gromit.
So far, their movie library consists of:
A Grand Day Out
The Wrong Trousers
A Close Shave
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
These will forever be part of the video/ dvd/ any other future media collection to enjoy (especially with my future kids).
