    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The 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.
    • Goofs
      When 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.
    • Quotes

      [Wallace and Gromit are on their spaceship, about to leave Earth]

      Wallace: No crackers, Gromit! We've forgotten the crackers!

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the credits, we see the ball which Wallace kicked continuing to float upwards.
    • Alternate versions
      On 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.

    Very funny
    Together with 'Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave' and 'Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers' this is one of the funniest things I have seen. The clay animation looks great, the stories are very ingenious and the jokes are great. If you get a chance to see this, please do it. You will have a great time.

    I have to say that both 'A Close Shave' and 'The Wrong Trousers' are better than this one, but you will still have a great time watching this one.
