As a long time fan of Wallace and Gromit, it was only a matter of time before I had to drag myself along to the cinema to see this. One of the key reasons for not going immediately was the prospect of being in a cinema packed to the rafters with kids. I’ve got no problem with kids, and of course they should go to the cinema very frequently. Just not when I’m there.
Fortunately the showing I caught was mainly full of adults – a teatime showing during term time. I remember seeing The Wrong Trousers in the cinema at the opening of the Bristol Showcase Cinema along with the UK premiere of Speed. A strange combination indeed.
This film was, of course, made for the big screen and all the usual charm is there. Possibly it’s a little longer than it needs to be, but it’s great fun and thoroughly recommended.
