Ey Up Lad…

Today is the 20th Birthday of Wallace and Gromit. This makes me feel very old.  It only seems like yesterday that ‘A Grand Day Out’ first came out and I'll have been 10.  Fast forward a few years later whilst at uni, I went to a guest lecture conducted by a nice lady from Aardman where I had the opportunity to meet Gromit (well one of the many models of him anyway).  Good times.  The 'Cracking Contraptions' are my favourite Wallace and Gromit animations, the best of which is "Shopper 13" in my opinion and my other favourite Aardman character is Angry Kid.  A quick web search spat this out from last year which I think is fabulous and Google have also wished the two cheese lovers many happy returns too.  I think I'll be getting my Niece this for Christmas as I have no idea if she's seen any of the Wallace and Gromit animations but I do think they're definitely something that she'll enjoy.  If she doesn't then I'll just steal it back.
