It's out in October @ the cinema but the BBC isnt showing it until 2008 ?! Seems a long time until it gets to the small screen :mad:

I still want to see the BBC2 Christmas ads again - but they're not on the website :(

A Nice trailer for the film Wallace and Gromit (http://movies.channel.aol.com/franchise/exclusives/wallace_and_gromit_movie) click on the big picture to view.

I have loadsa Wallace & Gromit stuff my kids collected when other movies were out in the late 1990's...I think I will ebay them once new movie owt and see it I can make some pocket money for them.....

I have 28 characters (differant poses) including the Wallace and Gromit Playhouse...the nodding Shaun the sheep, a Back pack of Shaun and an egg cup set, and the Videos of the original movies!

The christmas mini-series was called "Wallace and Gromits Cracking Contraptions". I won a copy on video, the full series is on there with some extras from behind the scenes.

I've not actually seen it in shops but I'm sure it must have been released on DVD at some point.

:wow: has it got the '2' ads too? BBC '2' is in them - you know? the blue plastecine(?) one. My favourite is the one where Gromit is eating mince pies. 2 sneezes and falls off his stool :D

I think I've missed out on something here!

I don't remember seeing any christmas ads with Wallace and Gromit in, which is why I thought you were talking about the mini series. I wish I'd seen them, I'll keep an eye out for them 'tho on the net.

I've seen every single website on the www (no really I have!!), so I knew straight away where these idents where kept. The brillant TV-ARK (an off-shot of the even better TVcream).

Anyway, go here:
http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/bbccontinuity/bbc2continuity1990s.html and download away!!! (and yes I agree these idents are vey funny, and only small downloads)

As for the film itself, it looks really good, ardman and dreamworks haven't rushed it, and it looks like the time spent has payed off.

The 2 trailers are here (http://www.apple.com/trailers/dreamworks/wallace_and_gromit/) and here (http://video.craveonline.com/video/comingsoon/?showVideo=514&statsid=26&pid=1)

It doesn't at all! It's always about 3 years before things get to terrestrial TV. In fact, it used to be longer a few years ago.

No doubt it'll get to Bit-Torrent a damn sight quicker! :D

I wasn't wrong! ;)

"We're limited for space. We've got two people making the cheese. If we get another one, where will we park the car?"

I see what you mean :hihi:

Hey-up lad, the were-Rabbit website is up now if you wanna take a gander

http://www.wandg.com/

there is even a Grommit fan club if you wanna join :P

Went to see W&G today - absolutely fab film ! Wasted on the masses of kids there - lots of adult gags in it [look at whats on the box near the end of the film and you'll see what i mean !]

If you go, make sure you get there on time. I arrived 5 minutes into the usual advert time, only to find they had the 'Penguins from Madagascar - Christmas Caper' short film on already. Grrr ! The bit that I caught was very funny though :thumbsup:

That'll be because, as it is Advance Previews this weekend, it doesn't have "the usual advert time". This is due to the fact that Previews never have ads, only trailers...and even then it is not usually a lot.

Handy thing to note for future previews (this includes any films that 'open' on a Thursday...they will be Advance Previews too)

i did the same as you grissom, thought the trailers would have been on. The film was great, well worth going to see wernt many kids in when i went either.

I looked on BT last week, they don't even have any of the other W and G movies.

Then you were looking in the wrong place... ALL are there... ;)

Just came back from seeing it... is ace :) and very very cute!

I saw it today, very funny, recommend it to all.

We saw it last Monday and greatly enjoyed it. One point I would make is that you need to stay to the very end of the credits - and not just so you can see that someone with the surname of "Warren" is involved.

Saw it on friday - v.funny! and the random Madagascar penguin cartoon at the start was pure class, penguin mafia + wallace & gromitt! Could the cinema get any better!

yes, can someone help out here please ? We stayed till the very end of the credits and there was nothing ?????!!!!

During the credits there are bunnies floating around the screen.

At the end of the credits a sign proudly announces that no animals were harmed during the making of the film, only for one of the bunnies to collide heavily with the sign.
