Wallace and Gromit

DIRECTED BY: Nick Park

REVIEWED: 10-24-96

Aardman Animation, that U.K. studio where claymation cracker jack Peter Lord creates his Oscar-award winning films, has packed this series of shorts made for British TV and sent them over the waters to prove that British television is woefully superior to much of American cinema. This 90-minute compilation is a straight-forward mix of fairy tales, a fable of the urban labyrinth, misadventures with "Rex the Runt" and "Pib and Pog," "Creature Comforts" commercial spots and, of course, Wallace and Gromit's "A Close Shave." The more you watch, the funnier they get; and the animation is first-rate. Go if only to see the subversively hilarious zoo mocumentary in "Creature Comforts," which uses dialogue from interviews with actual (human) immigrants to London.
