Trivia
The film began production in 1982 as Nick Park's thesis film, with Park himself doing everything. In two years, he had overshot his budget and deadline and only finished ten minutes. In 1985 he scored a job at Aardman Animations and the film was finished around other projects (most notably Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" video). See more »Goofs

This short was nominated for the Academy Award. It introduces us to Wallace and Gromit. Interestingly, the stars are less appealing than one of the supporting characters: the little whatever-it-is they run into on their jaunt to the moon for cheese. This little critter apparently wants to be Jean-Claude Killy when it grows up. The best parts of a very fine short are with this odd little entity, whatever it happens to be. Fine beginning to a great series that's gotten better as it goes along. Recommended to those few souls who haven't seen it yet.
