    • Trivia
      The film required 2.8 tons of Plasticine in 42 colors and 1000 baby-wipes per week to wipe it off animators' fingers.
    • Goofs
      The prices in the fairground scene at the Giant Vegetable Contest are in the old pounds, shillings and pence, showing that this film is set before this form of currency was abolished on 15 February 1971 (indeed, Gromit's calendar in one scene shows that 1 September is a Thursday, so the latest this film could be set is 1966). Yet Pesto's technology uses LEDs, which didn't become available until the mid-70s, and diode lasers, which weren't available to the general public until about 2000. However, Wallace has been shown to be a genius inventor, it's quite possible he invented all of these things himself, long before the items became available to the public.
    • Quotes

      [Quartermaine's hairpiece has been sucked up in the Bunvacc]

      Lord Victor Quartermaine: I want...

      [lowers voice]

      Lord Victor Quartermaine: ... toupée, please.

      Wallace: Oh, grand. We take cheques or cash.

      Lord Victor Quartermaine: Toupée, you idiot! My hair is in your machine.

      Wallace: Oh, no, it's only rabbits in there. The hare, I think you'll find, is a much larger mammal.

    • Crazy credits
      Rabbits float up the screen during the closing credits. On the Sci-fi music, they flash in different colors. On the romantic music, two rabbits act romantic and sometimes fly in other directions. The final line in the credits is "We would like to stress that no animals were harmed during the making of this film", and a rabbit hits its head on the text and falls.
    • Alternate versions
      When it was released in the USA, Wallace's line "How's your prize marrow of yours coming on?" was changed to "How's your prize melon of yours coming on?". This is most likely due to being that marrow was a common vegetable in the UK but not in the US. Strangely, US TV broadcasts such as on Cartoon Network and WGN America keeps the original line as well as Netflix UK prints uses the US version with that edited line.

    A dandy little film that is just too cute for words
    Wallace & Gromit have been around for some time, but this was their first foray onto the silver screen. Fans of the British TV series, like myself, were eager to see them and the film did quite well in the theaters. Much of the reason is that the film is fun and quite original. In a world of CG movies like SHREK and TOY STORY, this stop-motion film is a nice alternative to the trend in children's movies as well as being totally unlike a cartoon. Plus, compared to much earlier stop-motion films (such as KING KONG and the Ray Harryhausen films such as SINBAD), the quality and movement of the characters are light years better--looking very fluid, natural and more alive.

    Apart from the quality of the animation, this movie also deserves kudos on every other level. First, the voice actors do a great job. Second, the script is very simple but also very cute and enjoyable--with a few double-entendres that should probably go way over the kids' heads. Third, they manage to make this not only a movie for kids but people of all ages as the film is neither saccharine nor aimed solely at the younger crowd. In particular, I was captivated by incredibly cute the film was--and especially the adorable bunnies. I especially liked them in the closing credits--which made me very happy I stayed to watch the entire film.

    The bottom line is that unless you are a real stick-in-the-mud, you will enjoy this film. It's fresh, funny and amazingly clever. I hope we see a sequel--and this is saying something, as I usually hate sequels.
