Trivia:
Nick Park offered Peter Sallis £50 to voice Wallace, and his acceptance to record the part greatly surprised the young animator. Park wanted Wallace to have a Lancastrian accent like himself, but Sallis could only do a Yorkshire voice. Inspired by how Sallis drew out the word "cheese", Park chose to give Wallace large cheeks. When Park called Sallis six years later to explain he had completed his film, Sallis swore in surprise.

This is their first short film and introduction to England's famous clay animated duo.
This was first air on BBC channel back in 1989. The animation is well done, has a similar style you'd find in other stop-motion animated films before this.
But this is unlike the other stop-motion films you've seen. There's something special in this type of clay animated short.
It has to do with an inventor "Wallace" and his silent dog "Gromit" planning to go somewhere for what the British would call a vacation "holiday". Wallace finds out there's no more cheese, so they decide to go somewhere that has cheese. And they picked the right place that has cheese....The moon! It has humor, and some neat engineering.
It's very memorable and perfectly safe for the whole family to watch.
Wallace and Gromit is one of a kind to see again and again.
