WALLACE & GROMIT IN THREE AMAZING ADVENTURES: The first three films in Nick Park's award-winning animated series, WALLACE & GROMIT, revived interest in stop-motion animation just when it seemed the technique was hopelessly outdated. In A GRAND DAY OUT, which took Park more than six years to make, ingenious inventor Wallace and his smarter-than-your-average-dog, Gromit, build a rocket ship and travel to the moon in a quest for cheese. In THE WRONG TROUSERS, Wallace's invention--a device that transports him out of his bed, dresses him, and prepares his breakfast--malfunctions one morning. It plops him into the "wrong trousers," a pair of mechanized pants, which take him on a wild trip. Meanwhile, the domestic bliss of Wallace and his faithful dog, Gromit, is shattered when a mysterious penguin leases a room in their home. Finally, in A CLOSE SHAVE, love nearly melts Wallace's plasticine heart when he meets Wendolene Ramsbottom, a yarn-shop proprietor with a menacing mutt and a dark secret. Meanwhile, poor Gromit is accused of turning the local sheep into mutton meat. Can Wallace bust Gromit out of jail and catch the real culprit in time to share a bit of cheese with his newfound love? The femme-fatale story gets the claymation treatment in Park's third Wallace and Gromit story, which won Park yet another Academy Award.
WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT: Eccentric, cheese-loving English inventor Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his trusted silent canine companion, Gromit, have a thriving business in their garden-destroying varmint-elimination service, named Anti-Pesto. Together they prepare for the upcoming Giant Vegetable Growing contest. Wallace even has a potential paramour in a wealthy client, Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter), a vegetable enthusiast with a severe rabbit problem. Unfortunately, the tight-coiffed, slick-talking hunter Victor Quartermaine (Ralph Fiennes) also has designs on the lady, and he's not giving up easily. When a giant rabbit terrorizes the townsfolk and begins devouring some prizewinning veggies, another dimension is added to the existing competition between Wallace and Victor, and the outcome will be the talk of the town!
