“Nick Park's Wallace & Gromit series… stands as a near-perfect synthesis of wit, charm, adventure, and dazzling technique.” -Scott Tobias, AV Club This unforgettable pairing of man and dog was launched with A Grand Day Out (1989), and followed by The Wrong Trousers (1993), A Close Shave (1995) and A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008), (along with the separately screened feature-length adventure, 2005’s Curse of the Were-Rabbit). Those four short films, screened together here, picked up four Oscar nominations and two wins, and helped establish Aardman Animations, with their unique stop-motion aesthetic and their playfully sardonic comic tone, as world leaders in animation.
