Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Plasticine animation of Wallace and Gromit, inventors of all manner of useful devices. Gromit (a dog) finds himself being pushed out of his room and home by a new lodger who is actually a ruthless criminal (and a small penguin). The penguin is planning a robbery and needs to use Wallace and his mechanical remote controlled trousers to pull off the raid. However, Gromit is wise to the penguin and comes to the rescue.

Trivia
The rubber glove that Feathers uses to cover his head has only 4 fingers (as is common in animation) despite the fact that Wallace and all humans in other Wallace and Gromit films have 5 fingers on each hand. See more »Goofs
When Gromit is in the Techno-Trousers and painting the ceiling of the spare room (upside down), Wallace backs out into the upstairs hallway and bumps into Feathers. Feathers is not there until Wallace bumps into where he is supposed to be standing. See more »Quotes
Wallace: [being marched down the side of a building in the techno-trousers, controlled by Feathers] That's quite enough! You'll be hearing from my solicitor about this! Ooh! Oh! Mind how you go! You can't go taking liberties like this! I'm a respectable citizen!See more »
Crazy Credits
During the opening credits sequence, we see the Techno-Trousers in silhouette. See more »Alternate Versions
On children's television network, Sprout, all scenes of Feathers McGraw handling a gun is removed. Half of the train scene is removed due to Feathers McGraw shooting at Gromit. See more »Soundtracks

Together with 'Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave' and 'Wallace & Gromit: A Grand Day Out' 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 so. You will have a great time.
I guess this one is the best from the three, although 'A Close Shave' comes close. You must see all three of them anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
