Monkey, The Guardian, 4th November 2009Happy birthday Wallace and Gromit
Aardman's characters celebrate 20 years in the business.
Monkey, The Guardian, 29th September 2009The most popular TV show last Christmas, this easily stands up to a repeat viewing four months later. It's the sort of film you should keep in your bathroom cabinet for emergencies: In case of bad mood, press play.
So if you somehow missed it before, don't let it get away this time. We find our animated heroes hard at work at their new Top Bun bakery but a dozen bakers have already fallen foul of an evil cereal killer and guess who's next...
Sally Lindsay voices Piella Bakewell, the woman who makes Wallace go gooey, and even Gromit's head is turned by her poodle Fluffles.
It's stuffed with all the charm and invention you'd expect, plus some sweet nods to other films such as Ghost.
