Don't dismiss Beano like that, you'd create a war between USA and UK 😂😂😂😂

Every single time a Wallace & Gromit ends, I feel like tearing up, I just hate they end. I could watch these movies on loop 24/7

I'd love an episode for Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!

Better example than Sonic is Paul WS bastardizing Resident Evil and now Monster Hunter. Monster Hunter in theaters this Friday!

I don’t think I ever realized Aardman did the Chevron Cars commercials back when they were airing. I guess since Chevron is American the commercials didn’t have any of the Britishness that I associate with Aardman. Between them coming up on this podcast and the discussion of their inclusion in Autopia at one point on a recent PTR I’ve been thinking about those talking cars an awful lot for the year 2020.

Ah, this movie! I was so heavily into Wallace and Gromit as a kid, watched their shorts over and over as a kid. Watched this in the theatre, and loved it apart from the horrifying transformation scene... I was very much a scaredy-cat as a kid. Funny you should mention americans turning their eyebrows at Aardman designs: There’s a great bit on the 2015 Aardman documentary where Peter Lord points out the difference, where Aladdin and Jasmine look like models and Wallace & Lady Tottington look really weird. For Bob specifically: The car commercials you’re thinking of were for Chevron. You nailed it with Katzenburg and Shrek: He really did just want EVERY Dreamworks film for a while to be “another Shrek”. I think it finally ended with Kung Fu Panda, which started out as a Shrek-type comedy until a new director came in and said “hey, let’s make real serious kung fu movie that just happens to be a comedy, instead of a comedy with kung fu in it.” As someone decently familiar with the Beano, that Shonen Jump comparison is just too perfect. Something about Aardman I’m surprised you guys don’t know about yet: It is now EMPLOYEE-OWNED! Yes, when the founders (Peter Lord and David Aproxton) retired recently they actually put their foot down against the idea of acquisition from a larger company by giving majority control to its employees. Apparently Bob Hoskins WAS almost in Harry Potter as Horace Slughorn, because he actually did match the book’s visual description of that character. But something happened and we got the very different Jim Broadbent playing Horace instead. All the faces on the wall blinking are a nod to the classic british puppet series Thunderbirds, which was also a huge influence on the “suit-up” scenes in these movies. “Middle Age Spread” is a nod to the term, uh, “middle age spread”, that is the fat a lot of men gain once they reach middle age. There’s a play in my country (New Zealand) named after it. The G-rating was a surprise - there are still some pretty freaky scenes in this movie. I didn’t get the “Shaun” pun until Henry mentioned it, and I’ve been a W&G fan for almost 20 years! Another “Were-Rabbit is Wallace” joke you guys missed: When Lady Tottington says “Mr. Wallace”, he says “It’s the best your ladyship!” as if he’s accidentally correcting her. Nun Wrestling is still one of my favourite jokes in this. This movie is on my country’s Netflix, and one awkward thing is that some thumbnails on that site actually show an image from the post-transformation breakfast scene, with Wallace having rabbit ears in the background. Listening closely at Hutch’s dialogue, I think they literally took the old recordings Sallis made and pitched them up. Knowing that Wallace and Gromit are very popular in Japan, your Luigi’s Mansion inspiration theory makes a lot of sense to me. I think you guys got the ending change a little backwards: I’m sure it was first animated with Wallace’s rabbit ears, and THEN his regular ears were CG’d on when they changed their minds.

Love hearing you guys speak about British stuff! Wallace and Gromit is peak nostalgia for me! Cracking show! ☺️

A marrow is nothing like a watermelon. It's more like a pumpkin or giant zucchini. They are best hollowed out, stuffed with minced beef, peas and baby carrots and then roasted.

I upgraded my subscription because I couldn't miss out on my favourite animated duo! Enjoy the Wensleydale (I am partial to the cranberry or apricot varieties)! The rumour you guys mentioned about Aardman saving Wensleydale cheese is quite true! They released branded Wensleydale with W&G on them here in Britain following the success of the shorts and saved the cheese! You can still get the W&G branded Wensleydale for £2.25/100g. Funnily enough it is widely believed that the only reason Wallace name drops Wensleydale was because of the amusing mouth movements it would make.

In contrast with how the EXTREME Britishness of Wind and the Willows made me feel very melancholy, I LOVE how British this movie is and it's definitely a huge part of its charm amongst a large crop of other animated films of its time. Knowing now that Dreamworks tried to stifle a lot of that, I'm very glad they didn't totally succeed, and that the finished product is still very much a Wallace & Gromit thing through and through.

Nick Park’s dwelling on the studio’s notes about “kids in middle america” is an interesting point, as the next Aardman movie he directed, Early Man is so completely british focused it was almost incomprehensible to me, a dumb american. Early Man is a 90 minute in joke about Manchester United football (Early Man being Early Manchester, get it? even the title is a pun americans don’t understand). It was charming and fun but I really don’t know enough about soccer to even comment on whether it was successful as a film. A part of me is very happy Nick Park just gets to do what he wants, marketability be damned. But I really wish I wouldn’t have to be a life-long footy fan to enjoy one of his few feature films.
