Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe creators made Wallace say "Wensleydale" because it made his face look nice and toothy. What they did not realize was that the cheese factory where Wensleydale cheese is made was on its last legs and was about to declare bankruptcy. Happily, this film's success brought the factory back from the brink.
- GoofsWhen rushing to get in the ship the first time, Wallace kicks away the paint-stained ladder, which falls to the ground as they take off. Yet when they land on the moon, they use the same paint-stained ladder to get in and out of the ship.
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the credits, we see the ball which Wallace kicked continuing to float upwards.
- Alternate versionsOn the children's television network Sprout, the scene of the robot igniting the rocket has been heavily edited. The robot climbs into the rocket, but we do not see it breaking a pipe, spilling rocket fuel, lighting the matches, or igniting the rocket. The rocket just blasts off with no explanation.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Paul Behragam Talk Show: "Balto 3" R&T Part 2 (2015)
Featured review
Oh my, this is so funny!
Nick Park has created such funny characters with Wallace and his faithful dog Gromit. This time, they run out of cheese and decide to get it on the moon, as 'everybody knows it's made of cheese'.
They make their own spaceship and finally make it to the moon, where the cheese doesn't really taste like anything and they have an encounter with a local robot, whose secret dream is it to ski (as we see in a lovely dream sequence with the W&G theme playing on the background, loved that!).
This short picture is so funny, I can recommend it to anyone. Maybe not as much though as the even more brilliant 'The Wrong Trousers'... oh heck, what am I talking, watch all the W&G right now! You'll be glad you did.
8/10.
