Reviews
A Close Shave
Aardman's masterpiece.A perfect blend of romance,comedy,and action.Gromit,again,garners sympathy after,wrongfully being put in prison for killing sheep.Best scene:the motor bike chase where the sheep go in formation[and the salute to a passing Gromit,in his plane].

This cool film about wallace and gromit is so cool because a perfect plot. the story is about wallace and gromit trying to save a gigantic herd of sheep from a menacing cyber dog who frames gromit. Wallace has cool contraptions too.

You'll have certainly not seen such a romantic cartoon, so fullfilled with true love, like this one. Wallace loves Wendolene and Wendolene loves Wallace in such a pure and neat way, that you'll have to wear sunglasses while looking at the screen. And this true love-story goes along with a real horror story of those terrorisied nice guys like Shawn. It's truely a master-piece of film history.
