IN A NUTSHELL:
Already, the film has been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Animation, as well as 30 other awards! I’m so happy about that because they have been pumping out adorable movies and a TV series for many, many years! My family and I have been huge fans for decades, ever since we discovered the charming shorts. Most of their movies have earned 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Two of them won Academy Awards! (The Wrong Trousers and The Curse of the Were-Rabbit)
Academy Award 4-time winner Nick Park is at it again. This time, he invites Merlin Crossingham to join him, making his directorial debut. Writing credits go to Mark Burton and Nick Park.

THINGS I LIKED:
- This charming stop-motion animation is extremely impressive. They have 200 crew members that support the 35 animators who work all day every day! After all of that, they only end up with about 5 seconds of animation a day. Wow. This film took 6 years to make!
- The story is especially impressive because the writers could have never known how huge AI was going to be in our everyday lives in 2024 when they first started working on this project.
- There are quite a few Easter Eggs for fans. “Cracking fun!” as Wallace might say. For example, we can see a wanted poster for Mrs. Tweedy in the police station scenes. She was the villain in two previous movies. We also see the Aardman Animations logo on the trampoline that Gromit bounces around on. Cute. Another one is when we see a can in the garage labeled “WG-40” for Wallace & Gromit. There are so many more that are puns and jokes that only British audiences will get.
- Norbot’s head was printed in 3D, as well as a few other elements in the movie. All of the gnomes are hilarious and creepy at the same time. Ha ha
- The action sequences felt like they were inspired by the most recent Mission Impossible movie. I loved them!
- Really great musical score by Lorne Balfe.
- There is a lot of humor that will make you smile, as well as laugh out loud.
- Cast members include Ben Whitehead, Peter Kay, Lauren Patel, Reece Shearsmith, Diane Morgan, and Muzz Khan, among others.
- If you loved the Wallace and Gromit movie The Wrong Trousers, you’ll like that this new movie continues that story.
- The movie is best when watched with cheese.

THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE:
- Sadly, this is the first Wallace & Gromit movie since Peter Sallis passed away in 2017. He was the actor who voiced Wallace’s voice in the past 5 movies. To pay tribute to him in the movie, we see a flatcap and blue/grey raincoat hanging up next to Gromit’s raincoat because Sallis wore those in one of his movies. Ben Whitehead does an excellent job replacing Peter Sallis’ voice. You can hardly hear a difference!
