9/10
A film that stands out, politely so, a classic.

Something is ruining gardens, and consuming everything in sight, Wallace and Gromit must find out what, and save The Giant Vegetable Growing contest.

Loaded with cheeky laughs, slapstick, humour and sarcasm, it's a riot of a movie, one which tends to come out at Christmas time in our household, and for good reason, it's a film the whole family loves, and can appreciate, young and old.

It's sentimental, and of course it has heart, it looks amazing, the efforts that went into making it, staggering.

Incredibly and wonderfully British, as quintessentially British as cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off, and warm beer in a dusty old pub.

Even the hardest of hearts will adore this awesome movie. The shorts are forever great, this proves that shorts can thrive as feature length movies, it even picked up an Oscar.

When you look at the cast, they assembled so many greats, sad to see how many have passed away, Nicholas Smith, Geraldine McEwan, Liz Smith, even Peter Sallis.

I wish a few more movies had followed, but when you look at the time and effort that went into making this, you can understand why they weren't perhaps possible.

9/10.
