What I believe is the plot I've gathered from various sources, such as film mags and online-reviews.

Sorry to contadict but you're a bit off. Basically W&G start a pesticide company, akin to their previous window cleaning company. In the end they work for the mayor at the vegetable growing contest and have to eliminate the rabbit problem.

I'm a sucker for stop motion animation, and Park's animation is far more expressive than Burton's mates can ever hope to be.
I enjoyed the Chicken Run film although it never quite lived up to Wallace and Gromit and the humour was far more 'overt' than some of the subtleties in W&G.
The 'Cracking Contraptions' W&G short series that aired either last Xmas or the Xmas before was a little bit of a letdown. Although it was reasonably funny it was so short that the joke was more of a 'punchline' than anything.
What truly amazes me is that 'Cracking Contraptions' DVD sets are selling on eBay for about £20, fair enough it might be a little rare, but there's probably only two-hours worth of footage.

I'll admit it. I'm a fan too.
...but I just love the retro feel and subtle jokes contained within ... Wallace and Gromit.
It will be airing at the cinemas shortly and somehow the idea of a feature-length film, made with two of the characters I've liked throughout childhood, appeals to me.
There's just something inexplicable that draws me to Nick Park and his plasticene films ;o)
