Wallace & Gromit Double Bill: A Grand Day Out + The Wrong Trousers U
This December, Showroom are delighted to be screening all four classic Wallace & Gromit animations in beautiful 4K restorations ahead of the premiere of brand-new feature Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl on BBC One this Christmas Day!
The first double-bill showcases the Claymation duo’s first two adventures that sprung Sheffield-educated director Nick Park to international fame and success:
A Grand Day Out
Wallace and his sophisticated dog Gromit decide where to go for their annual picnic. With a home-made rocket and large appetite, they head for the moon, hoping to find it made of cheese. Their moon tasting arouses the anger of the moon’s resident, mechanical caretaker. In the conflict that ensues the earthlings unwittingly help the robot to fulfil its dreams.
The Wrong Trousers
A mysterious penguin and a pair of automated techno-trousers are the catalysts for a fast-moving comedy thriller, in which mild mannered Wallace finds himself an unwitting accomplice to a daring diamond robbery. His faithful dog Gromit turns detective in a desperate attempt to save his master, but even he finds his ingenuity tested to the full as events build towards a spectacular and hilarious climax - a train chase around Wallace’s living room!
On Sunday 22nd, catch the second double bill featuring A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death!
Tickets to each double bill are £5 for all ages.
