Anyone know if there is a recording of that horrible music that plays when Gromit is muscled out of his own home by the nefarious bird?
yours,

Peter T.

I've got the first three W & Gs on video. They're the only reason I keep the video player. Pity the TV doesn't work. Might pick up a working set free some day. Don't need a licence if you're only watching pre-recorded videos. By the way, there's a rapper side called Shaun the Sheep in Southport. The Americans may not have seen those Shaun the Sheep rucksacks that I think you can still get here....

Well I do hope in the new outing Gromit gets some respect. He's such a good boy. Drat that Penguin for ever making him feel he wasn't.

Haven't seen 'Valiant' yet, but then I don't much care for pigeons (except as squab, in a pie....).

Has there ever been an actor (assuming Gromit is male) who could say more with their eyebrows? Not even James Dean could emote that heavily with them.

Makes me think of a wonderful James Thurber story where the husband gets fed up listening to all the intellectuals at a cocktail party arguing about who was the greatest actor or actress of all time. Out of frustration, he says Donald Duck. And the more people ridicule him, the more he defends his choice to the point where he has such a big fight with his wife on the way home that it ends up in divorce. I'm not that extreme, but Gromit can act circles around William Shatner, John Wayne and George Segal.

Have only seen the 3 on DVD, but we love them. "CHEESE, Grommit!" They are sweet and loveable and so well-done. Even my high-tech daughters are charmed.

Loved Chicken Run as well.

WHy do you like them so much? From personal experience, I'd prefer to work in a Welsh leisure centre to spending any more time with those two.

Wensleydale? You sure you don't mean Mazomanie?

Gromit is almost as cute as Joe Offer.

Great photo, Donuel! Funny, I don't remember the train being the Mudcat express. On the topic of all things Wallace and Gromit, I have a Playstation2 Wallace and Gromit game...

No Wallace and Gromit jammies yet, though..

You know, that's the only thing wrong with Wallace and Gromit. The Wensleydale. Why not a proper tasting cheese like Lancashire?

Eyebrows - only person I know of who uses his eyebrows in such a fashion - Roger Moore.

We're big Wallace & Grommit fans here in Dallas ... we have a 3 VHS tape collection ... watch 'em all a time or three each year.

And always choose moments in real life to bring back our favorite quotes:

"It's the wrong trousers Grommit!"

I note that a 30 foot tall Gromit was displayed at Cannes today.

Yes Peter, apparently a New Feature length Wallace and Grommet Film, called (I think) "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is nearing completion and was being "launched" at Cannes

Sorry someone couldn't come up with the music on the radio in "The Wrong Trousers" for you, T. I looked but came up empty handed.

Well, that was my thought, and why would anyone want a recording of it, but there's no accounting for taste; one man's trash is another man's treasure and all that.

They use music as a Weapon of Morale Destruction these days, a kind of torture. This would count as a pretty extreme example.

I own a Gromit coffee mug. I guess you could put tea in it....
