Wallace and Gromit are a huge part of my childhood. Their animated shorts are some of the most creative and charming I've ever seen, from their vacation to the Moon that is made of cheese, to a penguin that robs a huge diamond with a pair of electronic trousers to a robotic dog that steals sheep.

What makes me appreciate this film so much is how much Aardman defied Dreamworks’ requests that would have damaged the feel of ‘Wallace and Gromit’. The biggest one was that Dreamworks didn’t want Peter Sallis voicing Wallace, because he wasn’t a big name in America and he was about 80 years old around this time, and actually suggested someone like Tom Cruise to play him. But Nick Park, the director and creator of ‘Wallace and Gromit’ just flat out said, ‘No’ since Sallis had been the voice of Wallace since the very beginning, and he would continue to voice Wallace until his retirement in 2010.

Wallace and Gromit originate from a series of short films. They are all worth checking out. In order they are "A Grand Day Out" "The Wrong Trousers" "A Close Shave" "A Matter of Loaf and Death"

"Most competent dog in the history of movies" Yes, absolutely good sir you are so correct on that one, I love hearing the respect for Gromit 😂 I absolutely adore him; so funny and expressive without even saying a word, and *unbelievably* cool given his range of skills! He can be my animal sidekick any day.

Wallace and Gromet were made by Aardman entertainment. Who also made chicken run. Jessie mentioned Shawn the Sheep who actually came from Wallace and Gromet. These guys were my childhood

The Wrong Trousers is honestly GOATed, that little penguin is such a good character, must watch! Maybe along with the other original W&G

You should totally watch the original Wallace & Gromit shorts. The collection's on Prime.

There is nothing taken more seriously than vegetable contests in English country shows. Trust and believe that these people are insane when it comes to winning first place. I was at country show last Saturday and the things you overhear when the contestants are let back into the judging tent are ridiculous.

Wallace & Gromit's first 3 shorts were: - A Grand Day Out (1989) - The Wrong Trousers (1993) - A Close Shave (1995)

I can't tell you how many times I watched Wallace and Gromit as a kid! 🥰I still love this movie! I feel like a kid again. Wallace & Gromit's first 3 shorts are: A Grand Day Out (1989), The Wrong Trousers (1993) and A Close Shave (1995)

Aardman are truly the masters of stop-motion. You must see the rest of their films, both feature length and shorts. I also admire how expressive Gromit is without talking or even having a mouth.

Funny thing with the mention of melon, in the uk version it was called a marrow but the studio didn’t think any one would understand what a marrow was. so they wanted it changed to the American food version. This would have been a monumental reshoot of the movie as the word didn’t fit the established claymation work so as a compromise they went with Melon.

I also love how there are subtle nods to their previous short films like: Gromit building the giant rabbit hutch feels like ‘A Grand Day Out’ The overall mystery feel when Gromit’s putting it all together is like ‘The Wrong Trousers’ The plane scene and their system of getting ready at the beginning, straight out of ‘A Close Shave’.

Aardman Animation have done some brilliant clay-mation shorts and movies. In the 2000's they moved into Computer animation with "Flushed Away", but tried their best to keep the claymation style, both visually with the characters and the character motion... and, oddly, IMHO, it worked. They were able to really stretch the visuals. Since then they have worked in both types of animation. And, yes - definitely check out everything they have done!! (even the "Animal Lifestyle Ads" from way back!)

Anyone of a certain age from the UK would probably remember Creature Comforts. Great premise, interview members of the public and then animate animals to their voices. If you haven't seen three original Wallace and Gromit stories (A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave) then I'd recommend watching them.

"Queensbury rules" The Marquis of Queensberry Rules, also known as Queensbury Rules, are a code of generally accepted rules in the sport of boxing. Drafted in London in 1865. The electric sign outside the Fruit & Veg shop said "Harvey's". There's a famous play (made famous as a 1950 film comedy starring Jimmy Stewart) about a pooka (a nature spirit from Celtic folklore, similar to an elf) who exists in the form of a 6-ft tall rabbit who can choose who to be visible to. A brassica is a vegetable genetically a member of the cabbage family (includes brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and kale). Claymation is a subgenre of stop-action animation. Claymation uses figures made of clay. Aardman Animation created & produces Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, and "Chicken Run"; Nick Park has worked with them since 1985. They're well-known in the UK, from whose culture comes much of the situations. Gromit is the long-suffering intelligence behind inventor Wallace's production of devices. Wallace is known for his love of cheeses (especially a fine Wensleydale). Shaun is the sly independent sheep who looks out for his flock. Every Aardman story is witty, warm, and wonderfully funny. You should check out some of the film shorts of these characters. Recommended: "Early Man" (2018). Same people, same technique, feature-length.

I never watched any of the Wallace & Gromit shorts, but I love this movie a lot!

"A Grand Day Out", "The Wrong Trousers", and "A Close Shave" are the original short films, and would all be worth a reaction

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid Wallace and Gromit is a classic

Well now you doomed yourself to Wallace and Gromit purgatory, you are legally obligated to at least watch "a grand day out" which was the first one ever and "a close shave" which is probably the best. Strangely those two can be a bit eerie and sometimes even creepy but they are absolutely marvelous and probably my favorite movies from my childhood (even though I was a pretty scared of some scenes when I was really little)

I love all the rabbit references in the movie, from a shop called Harvey's to the radio playing "Bright Eyes" from the movie "Watership Down," another animated movie you might want to check out.

Aardman animations did also make Chicken run. I'd definitely recommend checking out the Wallace and Gromit shorts - particularly The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave. They're on every Christmas in the UK! Also it was definitely a marrow not a melon haha

"It's like Jaws, but the land version." No, the land version of Jaws is Tremors. I strongly recommend you watch that at some point.

Not sure if it was before or right after this movie, but the warehouse where they kept all the clay figurines actually burned down. It was so sad to hear so much work had been lost.

Woo. So cool that your reacting to this, it's tragically unknown (in relation to what I think it deserves to be!) The charm of the movie is super British, so I'm glad you were able to get into it and enjoy it. 'This was arson... someone arsin' around!' is quoted quite regularly in my family 😂

The man that did wallace voice pass away-I miss him and gromit doing adventure. I saw this in the Theater Great.

THE HOLY LIGHT SHINES UPON YOU :O

"If you ask me, this was arson. Aye, someone arsing around!" Probably my favourite line of the movie. FYI, Peter Kay (voice of the Officer Mackintosh) is a comedian/actor here in the UK. He never really made a move across the pond, but he's very well known over here. Although, he seems to be semi-retired at this point because he hasn't done much work as of late.

I watched the four shorts when I was a child, and still watch them. Wallace and Gromit is amazing!

I love this! My kid used to watch it on repeat for a few years, but I still haven't grown tired of it.

There’s a genius bit of forshadowing to the twist. It’s happens when Wallace is giving Hutch a carrot after the Mind Manipulation O’ Matic goes amuck

One thing that's great about Nick Park's work is that there's always good references in the Wallace and Gromit shorts, this one here alone has tonnes, the title alone is a reference, originally it was going to be called "The Great Vegetable Plot" until Katzenburg told him "market research says veggies are a no no with kids", so the name was changed to "Curse of the Were Rabbit" in homage to the Hammer Horror films which starred the likes of Christoper Lee and Peter Cushing... Peter Sallis himself had appeared in one called "Curse of the Werewolf" which is where this film earns it's homage.

10:01 "Sssss-CHEEEEEEEEESE!" lol your now getting into the wallace character, now that's the sprite! 😅✌

The 'be there in an aarrgghh' joke is fantastic.

At the end you did catch on the cheese box Gromit pulled over Wallace had a stick "May Contain Nuts". LOL

Really need to watch Wallace and Grommit - the wrong trousers. One of the best films they did.

Wallace and Gromit were established as characters in "A Grand Day Out", and every movie featuring them since I went in expecting the best. I think your breakdown of all the qualities of The Curse of the Were Rabbit is spot on, and it's typical of all of Ardman movies, not just the Wallace and Gromit tales. I honestly think you'd love love love watching all of them, and we'd love love love watching you watch them. There's just so much heart in the stories that gives so much depth to the humour and crazy action.

Not only is the "angelic light" lightening up on Miss Tottington in the church scene but you see the angel wings behind here, making her look like an angel (and the lamp is suppoused to be like a halo).

grommit is indeed one of the most competent and LOYAL dogs in all media.

Please check out the 4 Wallace and Gromit shorts! They were my childhood! RIP Peter Sallis (Wallace's Voice Actor)

Is nobody gonna talk about the fact that Victor says, “Spare me the sermon, Vikar! Just tell me how I kill HIM- uh I mean IT.”?

I love the original Wallace and Gromit short films and when they said they were making a full length movie I was worried that it would be a disappointment. But not at all, they really managed to retain the quirky wholesome charm that made me fall in love with these two characters.

You should find the Wallace and Gromit with the evil peng--- 👣 👣 👣 🔫 👀 Sorry, chicken. Evil chicken. And Shaun the Sheep, lol

I love this movie I love all clay movies usually anything stop motion!

i love how you called this an underrated masterpiece when in reality in the UK this is one of the most influential and best known movies, this is one of my favorites.

Dude, this movie was my childhood! I'm a huge fan of claymation Thank you thor for doing this! 🎊🎉☺👍

The vegetable that Gromit is growing is a marrow which is more akin to a pumpkin or a squash.

my childhood animation hahaha i loved watching this when i was a kid, good reaction

Oh these movies bring me so much nostalgia! My best friend growing up had all the Wallace and Gromit movies on VHS and they were my first exposure to anything that was sort of darkly whimsical, something I still love today. The Wrong Trousers is epic, and A Grand Day Out is my favorite of all.

Wallace and Gromit, something I only once some movies once in middle school during a class for some reason. Especially the Moon focused movie. I can never remember the events, the dialog, nothing. But even with that lack of knowledge and memory, I still remember the class loving it, that it's an amazing movie, that people love the characters, and will never forget the character designs. Many people will see them and have no idea who they are, but I always remember, "Oh yeah, That's Wallace and Gromit."

There were a series of Wallace and Gromit shorts before this movie, so I went in knowing the characters and dynamics, and the movie kept all the wonderful things. This studio also did Shaun the Sheep which is wonderful.

Wallace and Gromit became a British institution from the the get go.

This is litterly my new favourite KZfaqr

Wallace and Gromit - 'A Grand Day Out'.

2:18 They are best friends, which is a relationship, but not what you meant, I assume. 6:55

Aardman studios are incredible, they're movies are so well done and so full of charm and humor. They are like a visual anti-depressant they make me feel good whenever I watch them. I would totally recommend you to keep watching more of their work, Pirates! is one of my favorites of theirs apart from Chicken Run. Now, if you want more stop-motion goodness but would like the tone to be a bit more serious/spooky you NEED to check out Laika Studios. Coraline, Paranorman, Kubo, Boxtrolls, all INCREDIBLE movies. Laika are true masters of their craft and are tragically underrated and underappreciated.

I can't eat cheese without thinking of these two.

Such a great film and probably my favourite Aardman production.

This just reminded me, I want to know if you have ever watched Flushed Away? I think that movie was 3d animated and not stop motion, but simular design to this and Chicken Run.

I'm no British, but for me this movie and "Monty Python and THe Holy Grail" are the pinnacle of British humour.

Wallace & Gromit is peak British culture, and it’s hard not to love their films.

My sister says that this is the cutest and funniest stop motion animation films ever made!

This along with Pirates! Band of Misfits are my two favorite Claymation movies by the way Pirates! Band of Misfits is another good one you should check out

You're going to have to watch the original shorts now. Start with A Grand Day Out, then The Wrong Trousers, and then A Close Shave. They were made from '89 to '95, but they are very good. Those three, naturally, took place before the events of this movie, and you get to see more of the inventions they made/used. The chair morning routine is a constant theme so when I was watching this for the first time I was so glad they kept it in, and even added on to it (snicker).

“Mary and Max” is a wonderful stop motion film!! And it’s a true story!!

Underrated? It won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature!

This is my favourite Wallace and Gromit! Awesome that you checked it out!

Anyone else remember the original Creature Comforts from 1989 and the tv ads from the early 90s..... please?

Love the new smoky angelic god of thunder look. Rock on, man!

One of my childhood favorites, Thor! Thanks for reacting to it. BTW, come Christmas, there’s a really good movie from the same people who made this one called Arthur Christmas. Give it a look, you won’t be sorry.

Wallace and Gromit are a staple in British claymation. It's been around for decades and I'm so happy to see others discovering it!

The train scene from Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers is one of the best scenes in any film full stop.

"It's like Jaws, but the land version." No, that would be Tremors. :P

They've won at the 78th Academy Awards for best animation movie

Their short films in the 90s 'The Wrong Trousers' and 'A Close Shave' won an Oscar each and Were-Rabbit won two, adding to creator Nick Parks' haul of Oscars (6 in total)

So glad to see you react to Wallace and Gromit because it’s hard to find anyone who reacts to their movies and honestly I need you to watch the rest of their movies!!!🙏😁

Very nice and honest reaction. I only knw the older cult classic movies with Wallace & Grommit, but that one is very funny too. Thank you.

There's actually a difference between the UK and US versions of the film: In the original, Gromit is growing a prize MARROW, a larger species of courgette (or zucchini for Americans). But to make the film more understandable for US viewers they dubbed over Wallace to make it a MELON instead. Which I guess isn't too bad, as melons and marrows are both part of the cucurbit family. The channel Eddache did a good video covering this fact about the film in his Aardman & Dreamworks video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g62mq5R719eunYk.html

Oh boy now you gotta watch a Matter of Loaf and Death and all other wallace and gromit films

"Not even Wensleydale?" -Wallace, in some other movie i don't remember the name

6:55 The word "filly" means a young female . . . horse. 🤦‍♂🐴

My son went through a Wallace and Gromit phase and we watched the tv shorts so much. Then Were Rabbit came out and we really enjoyed it. It’s very Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and nods to other classic horror films.

Very rewatchable. Remember seeing Nick park win academy awards and then pbs played some of these shorts. I recorded them, all three at that time, and showed my nieces and nephews. They bought me the proper tape when I had kids.

Yess, I’ve been waiting for you to watch this masterpiece

Nick Park is THE director of the Wallace and Gromit shorts (you should watch them if you haven't, A Grand Day Out, Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death) and Chicken Run (along with producer Peter Lord).

Chicken Run is from the same guys, as is Shaun the Sheep.

As others are pointing out you should definitely check out Aardman's other works. You've got the original shorts Wallace & Gromit came from: - A Grand Day Out - The Wrong Trousers - A Close Shave Also post movie: A Matter of Loaf and Death. Each are about 30 minutes so you could probably binge them all for one video. There's also a few other tv shows they made, which probably won't work as reactions: Shaun the Sheep (who first appeared in A Close Shave) and Creature Comforts. And here's the rest of their films you could react to: - Flushed Away (2006): Whilst it retains the look of an Aardman film this was animated without claymation due to a fire at Aardman studios. - Arthur Christmas (2011): Again CG not claymation, but a unique charming Christmas film. - The Pirates: In an Adventure with Scientists (2012): Back to claymation in this unusual pirating story - Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015): Like the tv show & the character of Gromit, this is essentially a silent film, but it tells a great little story. - Early Man (2018): An okay film about cavemen learning how to defend their way of life from the Iron Age. - A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon (2019): Again like the first film, it's a silent film, this one has a great deal of heart in it.

Would LOVE to see you do the Wallace & Gromit short films. Absolute childhood defining favs

My brothers and I still say the quote "Cheese Gromit, cheese!" from time to time. (Except in Spanish cause that's how we saw the movie)

Wallace and Gromit are my favorite claymation.

Watching the original shorts back then. I love all of them. One of the inspirations of the collage major I almost chose.

I recommend the Shawn the Sheep film, from the same studio. There was a whole tv series but I feel like you can enjoy the film without already having seen the series.

Sad fact: this was Peter Sallis (Wallace's VA) last time as Wallace before he died

Miss Tottington were copying Wallace signature hand shakes which he usually does when he's happy, excited or going to enjoy something. It's a trade mark thing he does in all the shorts.

Absolutely love Wallace and Gromit, grew up with the shorts. Used to be obsessed with A Grand day out and the Wrong Trousers. I blame them whole heartedly for my obsession with cheese.

Seeing this movie in theaters was my first experience with Wallace and Gromit. When it came out on DVD, I got it in a double pack with a disc featuring the original short film trilogy and the Cracking Contraption segments.

Queensbury rules is a form of boxing rules that influenced modern boxing.

may contain nuts🤣best joke ever

I love hearing your thoughts at the end of movie :) Some reactors end their videos too quickly

And so Voldemort was thwarted and Bellatrix opened a bunny sanctuary.
