    • Trivia
      In one scene, Gromit is reading "The Republic" by Pluto. The actual author is Plato; Pluto is Mickey Mouse's dog.
    • Goofs
      During the train chase, Feathers McGraw fired his revolver 7 times without reloading. Most revolvers only carry 6 rounds.
    • Quotes

      Wallace: It's the wrong trousers Gromit! And they've gone wrong!

    • Crazy credits
      During the end credits sequence, the Techno-Trousers walk down the street, still stuck in a dustbin. The sun sets until the sequence fades to black.
    • Alternate versions
      In the original broadcast version Gromit's birthday card plays "Happy Birthday". When released on DVD it plays "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow". The music the penguin is playing to annoy Gromit has been replaced by organ music. The reason for the music change is due to copyright issues.

    The short that proves one shouldn't let one's spare room to unfamiliar penguins without excellent references!
    This marvelous short won the Academy Award and is the best of the series, though all so far have been delightful! The praise heaped on Wallace and Gromit has been vast and well-deserved, so my additions are gilding the lily, but I'll still say something. The Wrong Trousers is funny, sad, insightful and just plain mad, frequently all at once. If there's any justice, they will remain in print in perpetuity. Most recommended.
