We all watched it in our house. 4 adults + 2 children and we were all laughing our heads off. Fantastic family fun! :)

The fact that strictly come dancing is in the top figures really proves that people don't half watch some shit. :p

Loved the aliens piss take.

I was worried people would complain about the idea of people being murdered on a kids show, but thankfully people saw sense and enjoyed it for what it was.

Oh totally agree, they would have to go some to beat the railway track scene from the wrong trousers, but i still think it was brilliant,

Little bit of adult humour creeping in too, like when gromit is turniing up the oven from 'Hot' to 'Very Hot' as it cuts between scenes of Wallace and piella getting more friendly, and Gromit's looks to the camera with looks of despair, excellent

Best one they have made since The Wrong Trousers.

Generally i HATED the Dreamworks ones, never worked imo and lost all it's charm, squeezed through the ringer by corporate Disney bullcrap.

Laughed my ass off at this one tho :)

It could have been worst from what I heard. They wanted to ditch Peter Sallis for someone more famous, thankfully Nick Park torpedoed that and said the film wouldn't go ahead without him.

Me and Kenny were chuckling at the old school Batman movie reference.

Thats the kind of thing that happens when you get corporate cash-cows like Disney involved :(

I still shudder at the thought of Chicken Run :(

I have to hop on the "i don't get it" train with Trem, never really saw the appeal.

A memory from this christmas that will now stick me forever is my folks talking about this one, where Wallace is reading 'Ay-Up!' magazine.

They giggled for hours.

you really need to watch it a few times to catch all the little throw away visual jokes, like the buttons on the car radio spell M-U-T-T when his toast is popping out

New one was both brilliant in its minor details and godawful in nearly everything else, particularly the brand of "humour" used: it wasn't Wallace & Gromit humour it was generic American humour. Disappointing.
