Info

A look at some of Wallace's labour-saving mechanical marvels that rarely work as planned. Having problems getting to sleep? Then try the Snoozatron – it plumps your pillows, plays you soothing music and deposits a teddy into your arms. Or how about taking the strain out of mealtimes with the help of the Autochef, a robot that will cook your eggs just how you like them. Or perhaps you might like to try the Christmas Cardomatic, an ingenious way to create a very unique greetings card!

Wallace & Gromit's Cracking Contraptions Audience Reviews

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
tigrerippy3 Wallace and Gromit are Oscar winning stars that are in 3 famous short films.And in 2002 they are come to our TV screens with Wallace and Gromit's cracking contraptions.Nick park and the crew have made this the same style as the shorts and the feature film.I love these, they made me grin then laugh then scream with joy! I like snowmanatron best.It is funny and a good scene to watch.So now with more success Wallace and Gromit are coming to the CBBC channel with a 40-part series with Shaun the sheep.As we know a lot of people love Shaun but my best is the evil robot/cooker from Wallace and Gromit's first film, a grand day out.If you don't like cracking contraptions you are not a real Fan.So stay tuned to CBBC for more Adventures.
emasterslake These here are a collection of 2 minute shorts of Wallace and Gromit.They were made 3 years before the movie and 6 years after the Close Shave.What's cool about them is each one features a different new gadget.A lot of the gadgets are cool looking too.Still features Peter Sallis as Wallace. And Gromit is still a smart dog.Sure each one is short, but if you see them all at once, that's like seeing a 20 minute short film.There's at least one laugh to each of the shorts. Some of them might features something familiar from the 3 old shorts too.This collection of shorts is a must see for all the die hard Wallace and Gromit fans out there.These use to be shorts only shown in England, but now it's easier to see now that it's released on the new Wallace and Gromit DVD.I give this collection an 8 out of 10.
rebeljenn These Wallace and Gromit short clips were originally broadcast over the BBC web site in 2002, and they featured Wallace demonstrating many different inventions to Gromit. These shorts were developed as a test (and to practice animation) before the full-length film was in production. They used these as a sort of training before making the film.These short clips were enjoyable and clever in their own right. However, they are not very memorable. The only one that seems to stick with me in any way or form is Wallace and Gromit playing tennis with some sort of automatic tennis player.Die-hard Wallace and Gromit fans and any fan of this technique of animation would enjoy these, but I would recommend the Wallace and Gromit shorts 'The Wrong Trousers' and 'The Close Shave' to anyone who hasn't seen Wallace and Gromit.
bob the moo In a series of very short films, Wallace the inventor demonstrates his newest inventions to his faithful dog Gromit. Some are useful but more often than not they cause more trouble than they're worth. Trouble that usually has to be remedied by Gromit.Who doesn't like W&G? For at least three Christmas times on the BBC we had a new 30 minute film from them that was always wonderful but now I understand they are working on a full length film they haven't been making them for the BBC anymore. Happily Christmas 2002 was different as they made a series of very short (3 minutes generally) films to be shown randomly throughout the BBC1 schedule. I wasn't able to see all of them but saw a few.Generally they are clever, witty and to the point - a western-style stand-off between a cracker hoover and Gromit was a nice touch, and there are other examples in each short or their unique touches. It's always pleasing to hear Sallis as Gromit - I enjoy Last of the Summer Wine and Wallace just reminds me so much of Sallis' character in that.I don't know where you are able to see these shorts. I suspect they will be made into a 30 minute video for sale or will turn up as extras on the DVD of the feature length movie at a later stage. By themselves they are just about worth trying to find - but at 3 minutes they'll be tricky. However spread over the Christmas schedule these were quite refreshing little treats.
