Was the creator bankrolled by the crackers and cheese industry to make me hungry for the previously mentioned?

Wrong trousers is one of my favourite films of all time. Nothing really has as much soul as it. Watching it as a kid was really nice and everytime I see it, I still have anxiety when Wallace is stealing the diamond. 10/10

No but he inadvertently saved Wensleydale from going out of business by making it Wallace's favorite cheese. Before that they were teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

The money actually came later, as the creator just picked random cheeses for Wallace to mention in A Grand Day Out, stilton, camembert, wensleydale, etc. The creamery that produces wensleydale was nearly out of business at the time and after the increased interest in the cheese from Wallace and Gromit, inquired with Aardman about doing a Wallace and Gromit branded wensleydale which rebuilt them into a successful business again.

Why does she call Wallace "Chuck"? in Close Shave? Also reformed Preston is cute as fuck.

Attached: Close Shave.jpg (236x177, 13K)

It was a reference to Wallace's old life as a strip-club owner in America.

"Chuck" is an affectionate name for someone in Britain, typically used for children, but generally anyone who you have parently affection for.

Bless you, user.

It's a Northern English slang meaning "buddy" basically, basically. Wallace also says it to Gromit in Wrong Trousers, "Happy birthday, chuck".

>"CHOCKS AWAY!"
>The chickens remove Toblerones from beneath the wheels.
It fucking sucks that Aardman's films barely scrape by while stuff like CG Lion King rakes in billions.

How many cartoons did Wallace and Gromit have? I had a VCR as a kid with only 3 cartoons. The moon one, the robot pants penguin thief, and the sheep one.

How did they become so iconic with only three shorts?

Attached: wg.jpg (900x900, 235K)

Five.
A Grand Day Out, the first one.
The Wrong Trousers
A Close Shave
Curse of the Were-Rabbit, a feature length film
A Matter of Loaf and Death

And some assorted shorts here and there

Same reason Mr Bean became an icon with only 15 episodes. Same reason Fawlty Towers is an iconic TV show an only has 12 episodes. Ripping Yarns is pure kino, and only had 6 episodes, I believe? Wallace & Gromit is quality over quantity. The painstaking nature of the animation meant this was necessary.

There are actually four shorts. A Matter of Loaf and Death came out about a decade ago. There's also the Aardman/Dreamworks Curse of the WareRabbit film. But the reputation of the series is based on the original three shorts. The film and Loaf and Death are excellent, mind you.

Mr. Bean only has 15 episodes? Goddamn. Its always weird when a franchise with such a massive reputation has such a small amount of actual media

>chinese-death-webm-threads.webm

Some other stop motion series like Pingu or Thomas the Tank Engine or (insert here) were really good, but the sort of "children's television" nature meant that quality took a backseat to churning a lot of episodes to fill up a season or whatever. Wallace and Gromit was different. Every single shot is carefully crafted.
Imagine if A Grand Day Out hadn't been largely made by one dude working part time. The original concept was kind of silly. It was going to turn into this Star Wars spoof thing and be 40 minutes long. But the film was heavily scaled back to about 25 minutes and the end result is lean and focused. No redundant characters. No pointless sideplots. It is a perfect piece of film. Perfectly paced. Perfectly scored. Perfectly acted by a reasonably famous British actor who accepted 50 pounds to voice Wallace because he was feeling generous. Peter Sallis was a treasure, and he bought such warm and humanity to Wallace.

I have the official Japanese Blu-rays from Studio Ghibli which are now out-of-print, Studio Ghibli once had the license to everything Wallace and Gromit except for The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, which is with DreamWorks.
They are now very expensive since they are out-of-print.
Based Studio Ghibli also released the Shaun the Sheep series on Blu-ray, and Japan is the only country to get Shaun the Sheep on Blu-ray.

If you can't get the Japanese versions, the Lionsgate Blu-ray is pretty good as well.

RIP Peter Sallis

I've heard some people claim that Wallace and Gromit has some licensing issues that affect re-releases. Is that true?

>tfw can't find plain Wensleydale in my part of Ireland
Why is it all this cranberry crap, I just want the plain goodness for crackers

It's got so much soul to it.
Liking it is like liking early SpongeBob, there's just something inherently good and enjoyable about it that almost anyone can enjoy it.

Concorde's release in Germany is still on-print as well as the UK release but Lionsgate's US release and Ghibli's Japanese release are both out-of-print.

Yeah, there is some licensing weirdness.
The US DVDs were first released by Warner Bros., then they were with DreamWorks, then Fox, then Lionsgate (which also released the Blu-ray).
As for Japan, all I know was that Aniplex held the license before Studio Ghibli.

It’s also because Britain had a much smaller potential audience. If the product wasn’t a BBC behemoth, chances are it wasn’t worth risking money to make an extra series unless the writers had a definite direction to go in.
Unfortunately this lead to the rise of low cost and low effort panel shows, and the rest is history.

Sure.

I remember someone asking what made it special. For me, it captures a part of Britain that is fading away fast. I think given that its set in a Britain that didn't undergo decimalisation could be part of it.

i watch it every christmas it's so good.

Ooh heck!

I remember watching the shorts the very first time they aired on PBS/WHYY as a kid. It was like an actual special event since I only had 6 channels. It was one of the first times seeing a show and knowing you had watched something truly special.

This thread fills me with nostalgia. Thanks for giving my day a good start Yea Forums

>the wallace and gromit thread is still there when I wake up
You're alright sometimes Yea Forums. Thanks for the rare wallaces, now go watch Stage Fright. It's a good short

the song in that is really catchy, 'the stroll down the river bank' one i used to sing it all the time.

Dad's Army was a rare case. 80 episodes. 80 amazing, SOULFUL episodes of pure British comedy magic. Holy shit that show was good. Absolutely flawless casting. Steptoe and Son had 57 episodes. Most of which were, again, pure magic. The calibre of comedy that the BBC cultivated back in the day is fucking amazing. And these shows weren't just funny. They were examinations of the human condition. The reason we remember Captain Mainwaring is not because he's a tryhard who promoted himself to Captain. We remember him because when the chips were down, he was brave. The entire premise of Dad's Army is a bit morbid. If the Germans invaded, this collection of no-hopers and geriatrics would be slaughtered. But to the bitter end, Captain Mainwaring would protect his men and his town. Underneath the comedy was a little man filled with courage and compassion. Sometimes he was petty. Sometimes he was jealous of Arthur Wilson who was actually qualified to lead and was a member of the golf club and shit. But he was brave. And Arthur was both gracious and lacked the spine to instill the men with the spirit to fight if they had to.

Good stuff. Fucking good stuff.

Steptoe and Son was too depressing for me. Any time a glimpse of change would come his way he would give in and fall back into the cycle of dependence with his father and it was too close to the bone. Great acting.

Just checked up and it seems strange Only Fools and Horses had only 64 episodes, and ignoring the revival Christmas episodes, it was brilliant, especially when you know people like the Trotters.

Eh, he still sounds like Wallace with a cold to me, it has improved since he first did the telltale games.

"Going.. down."

>watching the snowman on christmas eve and getting ready for father christmas to visit
one of my absolute best memories

You don't have to be british to enjoy W&G, I'm spanish and I love them. I also love a lot of the old Aardman shorts, specially that Nina Simone video with cats which I watched a lot of times on TV in the late 80s.

Since the arrival of digital cinema, stop motion films in general feel a bit more souless to me. It doens't matter it's Aardman or Laika, I believe they use a lot of digital postproduction and CGI mattes which makes those films less charming and real. Also, globalization now avoid the local and pushes forward stories, jokes and characters that anyone in the world can understand and relate.

>curse that prevailing south-westerly

wow that was terrible

There’s good left in this board, and it’s worth fighting for.
