    i love these!!!

    Wallace and Gromit are Oscar winning stars that are in 3 famous short films.

    And in 2002 they are come to our TV screens with Wallace and Gromit's cracking contraptions.

    Nick park and the crew have made this the same style as the shorts and the feature film.

    I love these, they made me grin then laugh then scream with joy! I like snowmanatron best.It is funny and a good scene to watch.

    So now with more success Wallace and Gromit are coming to the CBBC channel with a 40-part series with Shaun the sheep.

    As we know a lot of people love Shaun but my best is the evil robot/cooker from Wallace and Gromit's first film, a grand day out.

    If you don't like cracking contraptions you are not a real Fan.

    So stay tuned to CBBC for more Adventures.

    10 exclusive shorts of Britain's famous Inventor and Dog!

    These here are a collection of 2 minute shorts of Wallace and Gromit.

    They were made 3 years before the movie and 6 years after the Close Shave.

    What's cool about them is each one features a different new gadget.

    A lot of the gadgets are cool looking too.

    Still features Peter Sallis as Wallace. And Gromit is still a smart dog.

    Sure each one is short, but if you see them all at once, that's like seeing a 20 minute short film.

    There's at least one laugh to each of the shorts. Some of them might features something familiar from the 3 old shorts too.

    This collection of shorts is a must see for all the die hard Wallace and Gromit fans out there.

    These use to be shorts only shown in England, but now it's easier to see now that it's released on the new Wallace and Gromit DVD.

    I give this collection an 8 out of 10.

    Kind of fun but ultimately empty Wallace & Gromit shorts.

    I think the biggest problem with these shorts is that they are.. waaaay too short, Like.. I know that claymation is pretty expensive and time consuming, but seriously some of these shorts doesn't even hit the 2 minutes mark and some of the them (Like for example The Turbo Diner) doesn't even have a conclusion, It just.. ends and I found that kinda bizarre but other then that, This was a pretty enjoyable watch, I didn't mind it very much, It's always nice to see more Wallace & Gromit content.

    The animation is beautiful and fluent as always, Peter Sallis was excellent as always as Wallace (RIP ❤) and the inventions and wacky scenarios that Wallace & Gromit get their selves into were pretty funny.

    My favorite is the Shopper 13 one with Shuan The Sheep (also being the longest one outta the bunch) and generally these shorts were pretty enjoyable, Doesn't come close to the greatness that is The Wrong Trousers or The Cures of The Were-Rabbit but still, If you're a big Wallace & Gromit fan like me, You'll have a great time with these cracking shorts.

    Short clips to help with the full-length film

    These Wallace and Gromit short clips were originally broadcast over the BBC web site in 2002, and they featured Wallace demonstrating many different inventions to Gromit. These shorts were developed as a test (and to practice animation) before the full-length film was in production. They used these as a sort of training before making the film.

    These short clips were enjoyable and clever in their own right. However, they are not very memorable. The only one that seems to stick with me in any way or form is Wallace and Gromit playing tennis with some sort of automatic tennis player.

    Die-hard Wallace and Gromit fans and any fan of this technique of animation would enjoy these, but I would recommend the Wallace and Gromit shorts 'The Wrong Trousers' and 'The Close Shave' to anyone who hasn't seen Wallace and Gromit.

    great for fans

    Wallace has his many inventions. He also has his best friend-dog Gromit. His many contraptions often end up cracked.

    It is ten short episodes in total, each about three minutes long. It doesn't seem to have been shown individually which is what I expected. Even together, they are only twenty four minutes in total. They do blend together which is a problem. One should really savor each short individually. For those who love Aardman Animations, there is nothing better. That's me. I love these guys and their imaginative work. Of course, it is time-intensive work which probably led them to make shorts.
