Wallace & Gromit

So! Lets talk [noLink]Wallace & Gromit[/noLink].
I've been quite enamoured with the creations of Nick Park and Aardman Animations ever since I saw A Grand Day Out and The Wrong Trousers, shortly followed by A Close Shave sometime in the mid 90s. And of course even later on we've had the full length movie The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and the most recent short A Matter of Loaf and Death. Apparently there's also some sort of best of thing called Wallace & Gromit: The Best of Aardman Animation, which I haven't seen.
There's nothing groundbreaking when it comes to the characters, but you've got this very likeable, quirky man, and his trusty dog and it's all just so nice. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just find it immensely enjoyable to watch their adventures. Although I have to admit that I enjoy the first two shorts over the later creations, perhaps because they were the first ones I saw. Especially the evil schemings of Feathers McGraw in The Wrong Trousers... it's just all sorts of brilliant.
Apart from the Wallace & Gromit movie and shorts, Aardman have also made Creature Comforts, Chicken Run and Flushed away (that last one isn't claymation though, it's completely computer animated). They've also made the rather excellent childrens TV series Shaun the Sheep which I can warmly recommend to anyone.
So, who else likes Wallace & Gromit?

I love Wallace and Gromit! I own Curse of the Were-Rabbit, and I've been meaning to pick up the Three Adventures, though of course I would very much like to see A Matter of Loaf and Death sometime soon as well. Of course, I'm an animated short film whore, so I basically intend to watch anything that is mostly animated and shorter than 40 min.... even if I HATED "Varmints".
Anyway, to this day I'll be wandering around aimlessly and say aloud, "Gromit, you've gotten the wrong trousers!" And unlike a lot of my tastes, most people know immediately what I'm talking about.
