...great step to whatever the next thing is," says Miranda Dear, "which, of course, we all hope is a feature film." On this subject, Elliot grows as quiet as one of his Claymation creatures, before pointing out that it was 20 years before Aardman Studios (of Wallace and Gromit fame) embarked on Chicken Run. Oscar or not, one suspects Harvie the movie will be quicker to see the light...
...moon is most certainly made of muenster. Sasha G. Weiss '05 speculates that our celestial sister is really gorgonzola, “because it’s kind of green and decayed-looking.” Meanwhile, Nate F. Rogers '05 recalls the findings of the recent Wallace and Gromit moon exploration. Although the British claymation man-and-dog team hoped for “a nice bit of Gorgonzola,” they found that the moon was, in fact, made of Wensleydale cheese, a flaky, creamy variety from Yorkshire...
...Brattle is running this collection of notable animated shorts all weekend; the program includes work from Aardman Animations (the makers of Wallace and Gromit) and “Beavis and Butt-head”’s Mike Judge.

Next year they'll star in The Great Vegetable Plot, Park's first feature film since the delicious Chicken...
...each two-to three-minute film, Wallace concocts a daft labor-saving robot--meant to serve dinner or overcome a burglar or produce Christmas cards or vacuum up cracker crumbs--while Gromit watches in mute exasperation or buries his snout in a favorite book (one is Men Are from Mars, Dogs Are from Pluto). Something usually goes explosively wrong, but that doesn't dampen either Wallace's enthusiasm or Gromit's obligation to restore the status...
