DVD Description
Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Wallace and Gromit - the Academy Award (Oscar) - winning claymated pair have specially re-mastered all four of their smashing half hour specials in this complete collection!

A Grand Day Out
Wallace likes a nice bit of cheese with his crackers, so when this eccentric inventor finds his fridge empty and the local corner shop shut for the Bank Holiday, he is forced to look further a field for his cheddar. The two modelling clay heroes blast off in their home-made rocket on the ultimate day trip – Wallace and Gromit are off to the moon!

The Wrong Trousers
This time the modelling clay stars are plunged into a hilarious tale of skulduggery involving an extraordinary pair of automated trousers and a villainous penguin. Posing as an innocent lodger, the fiendish fish-eater sets about recruiting mild mannered Wallace as an unwitting accomplice to his dastardly plot - a diamond heist with a technically advanced, trouser-inspired difference. It is left to Gromit to turn detective and save the day as malice and mayhem culminate in a breathless train-top chase - around the sitting room!

A Close Shave
Trade is booming for Wallace and Gromit's Wash'n'Go window cleaning service and love is in the air as Wallace falls for the owner of the local wool shop, the lovely Wendolene. But Wallace has a new incentive - a Knit-O-Matic machine - and adventure looms. Sheep are being rustled, wool is in short supply and Wendolene's malevolent pooch is on the prowl... featuring Shaun the Sheep!

A Matter of Loaf and Death
Wallace and Gromit have opened a new bakery – Top Bun – and business is booming, not least because a deadly Cereal Killer has murdered all the other bakers in town. Can Gromit save his master from becoming the next baker to be butchered?

Synopsis
This collector's set brings together four Wallace And Gromit tales to mark the 20th anniversary of the characters' creation. Includes A GRAND DAY OUT, THE WRONG TROUSERS, A CLOSE SHAVE and A MATTER OF LOAF AND DEATH.

Customer Reviews

Hardly Complete
Hardly complete when the collection does not include Curse of the Were Rabbit or any of the dozen or so Cracking Contraptions which are small bonus features on the two-disc version of that film. Nor does it appear to contain the BBC Christmas idents or the related ITV adverts featuring or inspired by Nick Park's comic creation.

For these reasons, the set is only worth buying if you don't already own any of the four features included and if you can't find the films more cheaply by buying earlier editions. Of course, if you don't already own them or haven't seen them, what are you waiting for? They truly are cracking adventures, and so very very cheesy.

The best of the best
Collecting all the TV specials together may seem overkill, as most people will own them already (or at least some of them). However, they are brilliant entertainment and all in a smaller package.
