Plasticine Never Found a Better Use
Here's a compendium of the plasticine duo's first four cracking capers: A Grand day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave, and A Matter of Loaf & Death. It's surely impossible to remain mirthless in the face of Park's bonkers little sitcoms, outlandish adventures, hilarious script and sight gags, with Peter Sallis's inimitable delivery. These little movies are wondefully presented and although brief, each took longer to realise that most full-length Hollywood blockbusters. Editing, lighting sound-effects and script are all spot-on. It's not entirely complete, but these first four are the core. My personal favourite is The Wrong Trousers; it always seems to me that Park got the formula just right with this one after his first, rather experimental Grand Day Out.It's hard to believe they've been going since 1989. And there'll be no more to come; old Peter Sallis says he's just no longer up to the task of doing more voice-overs, so unless Wallace finds a new and younger voice (what travesty!) then this is it.I got this as a stocking-filler prezzie for one of my great neices. It is a good, clear recording, it arrived promptly, and gave plety of Christmas laughs.

Brilliantly funny and clever
I've been very down lately and needed something to watch that was fun, escapist and brilliant. What else could I order than this DVD? A special edition too no less. I've watched it over and over as the skill of the storyline, the characters and the entire production continues to blow me away. I've even watched those behind the scenes video to see how they do it, and it's utter magic. The stories are fresh and funny, the characters endearing and the jokes and humour - brilliant, brilliant, brilliantThere's never a dull moment in the stories, the attention to detail is mindblowing and I'm not surprised the team behind it have won several awards. If I had one to dish out, I'd give them an award myself.This has been the best medicine I could have hoped for.

A cracking adventure
Well, I was disappointed when I found out that the #1 streaming platform “Netflix” decided to remove all 4 cracking adventures. So I set myself on a journey that wasn’t just mentally opening but spiritually renewing, I searched high and low on the DVD section of my local Tesco to find said adventures, however they were out of stock! “Alas” I exclaimed as I pulled out my IPhone in a worrying state, “ i shall check the Amazon” and there it was, the Holy grail, the Foretold Ark that Noah was promised, the Beginning of the 10 commandments. Wallace and his companion Gormit. Well I was ecstatic. The basement dwellers rejoiced as I clicked buy now at the amazing price of £4.89.

All the TV short films, classics that should be watched over and over
I grew up watching aardman animations right from the early days and its amazing how far they have come, you can see the refinements from the first to last in this series. Its a shame it didn't include the film "curse of the were rabbit" but for the money its a wonderful collection of classic comedy featuring one of the most recognisable voice in british comedy.

Great DVDs
The Dvds were very entertaining, the price was good, the only downside was that it was not a complete selection as there is another wallace and gromit film, none of the sets advertised as the complete collection seemed to include it, it may be that someone else has the rights to that film, but nonetheless advertising it as a complete collection when it isn't is inaccurate at best.
