I remember watching the wererabbit movie and loved and still love the movie with all my heart. Even as a frigging 5/6 year old i realized how much effort when into the animation. I even knew what stop motion was thanks to it it actually came out when i was birn. I wouldnt be surprised if my parents watched it when i was a newborn.
One thing I like about a close shave is how Wallace has more agency and a little cleverer. He still retains his bumbilingness, but his skills with inventing which are brought to the forefront with things such as his oatmeal gun being given different applications, and his saving of Grommet makes him more interesting.
I felt like Wallace's treatment towards Gromit in A Matter of Loaf and Death felt very out of place for Wallace. He redecorated Gromit's room without his OK, he put a muzzle over his mouth and made him do the dishes as a punishemn for a false assault accusation because he was an absolute simp, and then proceeds to just act like none of that happened, and NEVER APOLOGIZED FOR ANY OF IT
The pacing of The Wrong Trousers is pitch perfect. You forget that it's stop motion and become completely engrossed with the characters and the story. The train chase at the end....absolutely mind blowing.
I used to be petrified of the scene in Loaf and death where Gromit is holding on to the fan falls off and the villains eyes open to the point I would have nightmares that night
It’s strange how media affects us in that way, doesn’t it? Thank you for sharing! I like your profile, by the way, the Netflix series was actually a pretty good adaptation.
We have the same rankings! Even though The wrong trousers has Gromit feeling cast out, and Wallace left to a betrayal of sort, I think A close shave does it much better. Gromit imprisonment was so emotional and Wallace love interest actually captivating. On top of this, Feather's character is very good but is compared to Preston a rather one-dimensional bad guy while Preston is actually quite sad. The ending scene where he is "nice" again actually got to me as a kid. Adding to this, the mystery and thrill of the robbery and genius of the train chase in all it's glory, A close shave finale is BRILLIANT. The truck heist with all the sheep, the near death experiences over and over again, Gromit's plane is one of the most iconic pieces in a Wallace and Gromit flick, the porridge canon, Preston's reveal, the final treadmill run. A Close Shave is masterclass.
Here’s my ranking from worst to best: 6. A Matter of Loaf and Death 5. A Close Shave 4. A Grand Day Out 3. Cracking Contraptions 2. The Wrong Trousers 1. The Curse of the Were Rabbit
I remember being disappointed that it never got a full series like Shaun the Sheep did. But what we got was amazing. Growing up as an American with 80% British television and a grandmother with a British accent really messed with me as a kid in school tho lol. Most of my childhood is Ardman animations works and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s just one of those things I wish I could experience for the first time all over again.
Awesome video. This is how I'll rank them. 6. A Matter of Loaf and Death 5. Cracking Contraptions 4. A Grand Day Out 3. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit 2. Close Shave 1. The Wrong Trousers
1. Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers (1993) 2. Wallace & Gromit: A Grand Day Out (1989) 3. Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave (1995) 4. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) 5. Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008) 6. Wallace & Gromit's Cracking Contraptions (2002) This is my ranking and my opinion.
Every once in a while I get the urge to rewatch all of Wallace and Gromit so here I am at the tail end of one such urge. I’m pleasantly surprised by how close our rankings are! I would put Cracking Contraptions last (it’s cute but I like a cohesive story better than vignettes), and The Wrong Trousers above A Close Shave purely for nostalgic reasons (being the first one I ever saw)- but I will say, when I first rewatched A Close Shave as an adult, it instantly became my favorite for a while! I think I was too frightened of it as a kid to properly appreciate how great it is, especially since there was a lot I didn’t remember about it, including that awesome car chase/plane ride scene at the end. I fully agree with what you said about A Matter of Loaf and Death- it should have been a feature film. When I first saw it I thought it was too dark in tone as well, but now the pacing is my only real problem with it. Everything happens so quickly!
I recommended the movie to a group of friends and strangers, we were all teenagers at the time. They never saw any Wallace and Gromit before, and were skeptical they would like it. Needless to say, they became instant fans, and one guy even thanked me for recommending it. That’s the only time that’s ever happened to me.
My Rankings #6. Cracking Contraptions #5. A Matter of Loaf and Death #4. A Grand Day Out #3. A Close Shave #2. Curse of the Were-Rabbit #1. The Wrong Trousers
I strongly agree with you about "a matter of loaf and death." it's really good and wraps up nicely, like all the wallace and gromit items, but it just felt like there was so much more they _wanted_ to add, and couldn't because they didn't have the backing of dreamworks. it's still great; just, all the other wallace and gromit productions are _even better._ the opening scene alone where they go through wallace's "rube goldberg" machine to dress them for work, pour them coffee, and even crank up their motorcycle for them was so much fun to watch and another fine example of wallace's slothfulness XD
The first one I saw was Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Only because I remember saying to mum in the car next to McDonald's after watching it "mummy from Wallace and Gromit, the lady there has Wotsits hair!" Forget God Save The Queen, Wallace and Gromit should be our National Anthem
I would agree with the ranking other than switching the top 2. The model train chase in Wrong Trousers is just perfection, as I get older I’m just amazed at how difficult that must’ve been to create. I do respect recognising that it’s probably better while still preferring A Close Shave, they are really close. The plane smashing through the walls is also brilliant for example
I think The Grand Day Out has best OST, The Wrong Trousers has the best villain, A Close Shave has the best action and A Matter Of Loaf And Death has the best ending.
6. Cracking Contraptions 5. The Curse of the Were Rabbit 4. A Matter of Loaf and Death 3. A Close Shave 2. The Wrong Trousers 1. A Grand Day Out the curse of the were rabbit isnt as good as the rest as it was made so much later feeling so much more forced story line than the rest
Watching these as an adult, I really get a kick out of all the references to other films, tv series and other pop culture: 1:51 An obvious parody of "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!" from the Adam West batman film. The pictures of Wallace's "valued clients" who's eyes light up similar to the Thunderbirds puppet series. Well, you get the idea. People have spent an untold amount of manhours just re-watching these for all the references, and now I like to do the same!
One of my very earliest memories is watching A Grand Day Out with my dad. It really kickstarted my love of animation, and I still love it and the other Wallace and Gromit films so much.
My personal ranking: 1. The Wrong Trousers 2. A Grand Day Out 3. The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit 4. A Close Shave 5. A Matter Of Loaf And Death 6. The Cracking Contraptions
controversial opinion: i dont like the ware rabbit, i like how the other ones have almost NO characters, the other ones have a dark side to it, with little to no characters and a strange feel that just isnt there in the film
Curse of the Were Rabbit will always be my favourite. I just adore how they fleshed out the universe a bit with some new memorable characters and set pieces. I also adore the PS2 game and that has a lot of memories by association
Awesome list! My list is: 6. A Matter of Loaf & Death 5. A Grand Day Out 4. Cracking Contraptions 3. The Wrong Trousers 2. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit 1. A Close Shave
here’s mine ranked: 6, A Grand Day Out 5, Cracking Contraptions 4, A Matter of Loaf and Death 3, A Close Shave 2, The Wrong Trousers 1, Curse of The Were Rabbit 7 if you count the W&G in Project Zoo game! ;)
I love every single one of these, growing up with them, being from chimney-sweeping, crumpet-snorting Britland, but this is probably my list, although some I see equally.: 1. The Wrong Trousers 2. The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit 3. A Grand Day Out 4. A Close Shave 5. Cracking Contraptions 6. A Matter Of Loaf and Death
Although i dont and cannot deny that all the other shorts were great in their own ways (Close Shave introducing a fun new character in Shaun, and Wrong Trousers giving us the best villain), Matter of Loaf and Death is my personal favorite. Yes, it was short and felt a bit off at some points (Like how Gromit and Fluffles escaped with the Balloon even though less than a minute ago in the running time Gromit was thrown into the storage room.), but i think it did an amazing job with enough storytelling for it to be completely understandable within 30 minutes. The jokes were genuinely funny and didn't seem out of place. My favorite part of the story is that they did a twist with the series where Gromit had a love interest in Fluffles. It was an amazing moment to see her stand up to her owner and save Wallace when Gromit couldn't, and in the end, with no where else to go, joined Wallace and Gromit, who welcomed her into their delivery van to deliver more bread. I hope to see more of her in future Wallace and Gromit projects, or at least know what happened to her if they decide to keep having no-continuity between the shorts and not have her in future adventures. (Although in the story for the AR app Fix Up the City, it seems they kept continuity so maybe there is hope.)
I can remember hours of me watching all of these on my DVD player when I was only about 5 years old and I still think it’s one of the best cartoons and stop motion series ever made
Came back to this video after finding out that Netflix is working with Aardman to release a Wallace And Gromit movie sequel so I’m hella excited for that!
I'd rank em: 6.) Cracking Contraptions 5.) A Grand Day Out 4.) The Wrong Trousers 3.) A Matter Of Load and Deaf 2.) A Close Shave 1.) Curse Of The Were-Rabit.
Honestly, I'm not that big a fan of "A Matter of Loaf and Death". It's good, but I just didn't enjoy it that much. I also think "A Close Shave" was a little confusing, but still funny. However, I enjoyed everything else. I have seen everything on this list before. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is definitely my favorite Wallace and Gromit cartoon.
My Ranking 6. Cracking Contraptions 5. A Matter Of Loaf & Death 4. A Grand Day Out 3. The Curse Of The Were Rabbit 2. The Wrong Trousers 1. A Close Shave
6. A Matter of Loaf and Death 5. Curse of The Were-Rabbit (been too long since ive last seen it, but i like the smaller scale of the old ones) 4. Cracking Contraptions 3. A Grand Day Out 2. A Close Shave 1. The Wrong Trousers
Even the music of the wererabbit movie you put on this video gave me nostalgia shiver ! A ton of good memories with my dad, i was born in 2005 but i'm so glad my dad have shown me this in my childhood
That must've been tough to rank! I would honestly just put them all at #1 and call it a day. If I was forced to pick only one, I think I would go with A Grand Day Out. It's got a creep factor that I adore and the robot is just too cute.
Something I've just now realised watching this video is that Gromit should have tried to cut the fuse to the bomb in A Matter of Loaf and Death. Though of course that would make the short film less dramatic, and he was thinking under pressure
I started watching Wallis & Grommet first and then started watching the BBC sitcom the Last of the Summer Wine. I think Summer Wine preceded Wallis and Grommet by a few years, but every time I heard Wallis speak, I thought of Peter Sallis, who also played Wallis.
My personal ranking list: -Cracking contraptions -A close shave -The curse of the Were-rabbit -A grand day out -A matter of loaf and death -The wrong trousers
I’m a huge fan of Wallace and Gromit love the shorts a grand day out 1989 the wrong trousers 1993 a close shave 1995 cracking contraptions 2002 the movie curse of the were rabbit 2005 and the final short a matter of loaf and death 2008
Of all Wallace and Gromit, I mostly like all three of the original shorts especially the wrong trousers and with the train chase scene (since I mostly like seeing things go fast in shows and movies), followed by the ten cracking contraptions shorts and the movie the curse of the were-rabbit which I found it great to watch, while also liking chicken run and flushed away, the rest of the other Aardman movies that were done by other companies, I’m not sure, I did kind of like the pirates band of misfits (done by Columbia pictures and Sony pictures animation) because of a funny bathtub chase scene, but I mainly still like chicken run, Wallace & Gromit the curse of the were-rabbit and flushed away (I now just keep the original Wallace & Gromit shorts together and Wallace & Gromit the curse of the were-rabbit), followed by liking the show Shaun the sheep mainly just the first season and one season 2 episode, mostly because I grew up with the movies from Dreamworks animation and also Disney and Pixar too.
My opinion: 6. A Matter Of Loaf And Death 5. Cracking Contraptions 4. A Grand Day Out 3. The Wrong Trousers 2. A Close Shave 1. The Curse Of The Were Rabbit
Someone needs to tie in all the aardman films like it's been done for pixar My version: wallace and gromit is set in 60s-70s, shaun the sheep's first appearance is close shave (c.1965) however the shaun the sheep movie is clearly set in the present day bcs of the cars' number plates so perhaps the shaun in the movie is a descendant of the shaun sheep that wallace raised. Shortly afterwards when shaun got too big to handle wallace gave shaun to his friend, the current farmer's father (perhaps also son of arnold hugh from stage fright) and he bred that sheep into the current flock
You know I think victor quartermaine and piella bakewell were 2 of the most dangerous villains in the Wallace and gromit franchise because they came dangerously close to killing Wallace
I think I should mention I’m pretty sure it was confirmed Wallace and Gromit are coming back. I remember reading an article about it at some point in time. I also should mention they do have a new voice actor for Wallace already and they use him in their ads that the post on RUclips (which I highly recommend you should watch)
i audibly gasped when you put the wrong trousers at number 2, i thought i was the only one who liked 'a close shave' the most!! gosh, when i was a child i loved all of the wallace and gromit animations (excluding matter of loaf and death bc it wasn't out yet haha) but i would always ask my parents my parents to play a close shave the most. i called it 'the one with the sheep and the weird slime.' that said, i dont think animation has ever made me laugh in complete humor, joy, and shock than when gromit picked up those spare tracks in the wrong trousers. it was genius!
If Wallace and Gromit ever got a sequel movie I imagine (and would love) the plot would be a new night time terror endangers their hometown and it's only chance of survival would be Wallace having to regain his were rabbit abilities even at the risk of never being able to revert back to human form.
Fun fact: After A Grand Day Out’s success, cheese sales skyrocketed and the Wensleydale cheese company mentioned in the short was saved.
people weren't buying enough cheese? not even wensleydale? but it's so good! it practically deserves it's own food group
@@hobomike6935 there was many points missing

@@cedar4539 Branded stuff is all the rage now, and we can thanks, of all things, Wallace and freaking Gromit for it.
Wallace is the ultimate cheese Chad, his obsession of cheese is so great, it saved an actual cheese factory
I've gone to the very cheese factory as I like about 30 mins away from it and it's very very successful! Thanks Wallace and Gromit!
theres a new wallace and gromit full length film coming out in 2024.
plot is apparently about a new invention that goes wrong.
I remember watching the wererabbit movie and loved and still love the movie with all my heart. Even as a frigging 5/6 year old i realized how much effort when into the animation.

The Wrong Trousers felt like an epic full length movie rather then a 30 minute short film for kids
Words cannot describe how much I loved both The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave as a child!
The pacing of The Wrong Trousers is pitch perfect. You forget that it's stop motion and become completely engrossed with the characters and the story. The train chase at the end....absolutely mind blowing.
A Close Shave was the first Wallace and Gromit short I ever watched. It was funny then, and it’s still funny now.
Excellent, I would agree!!
I grew up with A Close Shave and loved the amazing chase scene and the cheese on the cracker is the music by Julian Nott is smashing.😁

Me too.
This series is so great! Still have to see Cracking Contraptions though
Glad you agree! You can find Cracking Contraptions in its entirety on the Wallace & Gromit YT channel, and it’s also on Amazon Prime
The animation style and atmosphere in A Grand Day Out always made it stand out for me. The sound design has an almost ASMR quality to it too.
I used to be petrified of the scene in Loaf and death where Gromit is holding on to the fan falls off and the villains eyes open to the point I would have nightmares that night
It’s strange how media affects us in that way, doesn’t it? Thank you for sharing! I like your profile, by the way, the Netflix series was actually a pretty good adaptation.
Yeah I had a moment like that but it was the scene with all the mannequins.
The wrong trousers is not only the best W&G, not only the best animation, but perhaps the best piece of visual media of all time. Perfect in every way
We have the same rankings! Even though The wrong trousers has Gromit feeling cast out, and Wallace left to a betrayal of sort, I think A close shave does it much better. Gromit imprisonment was so emotional and Wallace love interest actually captivating.

Thank you sir!
Loaf and death used to scare me as a kid
Although i dont and cannot deny that all the other shorts were great in their own ways (Close Shave introducing a fun new character in Shaun, and Wrong Trousers giving us the best villain), Matter of Loaf and Death is my personal favorite. Yes, it was short and felt a bit off at some points (Like how Gromit and Fluffles escaped with the Balloon even though less than a minute ago in the running time Gromit was thrown into the storage room.), but i think it did an amazing job with enough storytelling for it to be completely understandable within 30 minutes. The jokes were genuinely funny and didn't seem out of place. My favorite part of the story is that they did a twist with the series where Gromit had a love interest in Fluffles. It was an amazing moment to see her stand up to her owner and save Wallace when Gromit couldn't, and in the end, with no where else to go, joined Wallace and Gromit, who welcomed her into their delivery van to deliver more bread. I hope to see more of her in future Wallace and Gromit projects, or at least know what happened to her if they decide to keep having no-continuity between the shorts and not have her in future adventures. (Although in the story for the AR app Fix Up the City, it seems they kept continuity so maybe there is hope.)
I can remember hours of me watching all of these on my DVD player when I was only about 5 years old and I still think it’s one of the best cartoons and stop motion series ever made
Came back to this video after finding out that Netflix is working with Aardman to release a Wallace And Gromit movie sequel so I’m hella excited for that!
I LOVE THIS THANK YOU FOR THIS I NEEDED THIS IN MNY LIFE AFTER MY DAD LEFT FOR MY SISTER THIS HELPED ME LOVE U
EPIC
i'm not here for the matter of loaf and death slander
I'd rank em:
6.) Cracking Contraptions
5.) A Grand Day Out
4.) The Wrong Trousers
3.) A Matter Of Load and Deaf
2.) A Close Shave
1.) Curse Of The Were-Rabit.
Honestly, I'm not that big a fan of "A Matter of Loaf and Death". It's good, but I just didn't enjoy it that much. I also think "A Close Shave" was a little confusing, but still funny. However, I enjoyed everything else. I have seen everything on this list before. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is definitely my favorite Wallace and Gromit cartoon.

...You know, I've never thought to ponder this until now... Wallace never thought to ask _why_ the Techno-Trousers were "EX"-NASA.
What an unexpected treat this video was, I haven't watched any of these in years and now I just wanna go through them all again :)
A Grand Day Out is the best.
Check out Bertha. It ain't quite Wallace and gromot but it's a classic claymation kids cartoon.
Have you played Wallace and Grommit in Project Zoo? u may like it if you have not.
Even the music of the wererabbit movie you put on this video gave me nostalgia shiver ! A ton of good memories with my dad, i was born in 2005 but i'm so glad my dad have shown me this in my childhood
That must've been tough to rank! I would honestly just put them all at #1 and call it a day. If I was forced to pick only one, I think I would go with A Grand Day Out. It's got a creep factor that I adore and the robot is just too cute.
Me: _"What!? Curse of The Were-Rabbit is 3rd place!?"_
Me after seeing what's next on the list: _"Ah ok, nvm"_
Something I've just now realised watching this video is that Gromit should have tried to cut the fuse to the bomb in A Matter of Loaf and Death. Though of course that would make the short film less dramatic, and he was thinking under pressure
I started watching Wallis & Grommet first and then started watching the BBC sitcom the Last of the Summer Wine. I think Summer Wine preceded Wallis and Grommet by a few years, but every time I heard Wallis speak, I thought of Peter Sallis, who also played Wallis.

My personal ranking list:

-A close shave
-The curse of the Were-rabbit
-A grand day out
-A matter of loaf and death
-The wrong trousers
I’m so glad to tell that I watched every of these films ! Even Shaun the sheep the cartoon and both movies.
I’m a huge fan of Wallace and Gromit love the shorts a grand day out 1989 the wrong trousers 1993 a close shave 1995 cracking contraptions 2002 the movie curse of the were rabbit 2005 and the final short a matter of loaf and death 2008
Please stop calling them cartoons!
Of all Wallace and Gromit, I mostly like all three of the original shorts especially the wrong trousers and with the train chase scene (since I mostly like seeing things go fast in shows and movies), followed by the ten cracking contraptions shorts and the movie the curse of the were-rabbit which I found it great to watch, while also liking chicken run and flushed away, the rest of the other Aardman movies that were done by other companies, I’m not sure, I did kind of like the pirates band of misfits (done by Columbia pictures and Sony pictures animation) because of a funny bathtub chase scene, but I mainly still like chicken run, Wallace & Gromit the curse of the were-rabbit and flushed away (I now just keep the original Wallace & Gromit shorts together and Wallace & Gromit the curse of the were-rabbit), followed by liking the show Shaun the sheep mainly just the first season and one season 2 episode, mostly because I grew up with the movies from Dreamworks animation and also Disney and Pixar too.
My opinion:
6. A Matter Of Loaf And Death
5. Cracking Contraptions
4. A Grand Day Out
3. The Wrong Trousers
2. A Close Shave
1. The Curse Of The Were Rabbit
Random fact: Haynes ended up doing a cooperation (I believe) and made 2 cut away manuals for all the inventions
Someone needs to tie in all the aardman films like it's been done for pixar
My version:
wallace and gromit is set in 60s-70s, shaun the sheep's first appearance is close shave (c.1965) however the shaun the sheep movie is clearly set in the present day bcs of the cars' number plates so perhaps the shaun in the movie is a descendant of the shaun sheep that wallace raised. Shortly afterwards when shaun got too big to handle wallace gave shaun to his friend, the current farmer's father (perhaps also son of arnold hugh from stage fright) and he bred that sheep into the current flock
You know I think victor quartermaine and piella bakewell were 2 of the most dangerous villains in the Wallace and gromit franchise because they came dangerously close to killing Wallace
I think I should mention I’m pretty sure it was confirmed Wallace and Gromit are coming back. I remember reading an article about it at some point in time. I also should mention they do have a new voice actor for Wallace already and they use him in their ads that the post on RUclips (which I highly recommend you should watch)
i audibly gasped when you put the wrong trousers at number 2, i thought i was the only one who liked 'a close shave' the most!! gosh, when i was a child i loved all of the wallace and gromit animations (excluding matter of loaf and death bc it wasn't out yet haha) but i would always ask my parents my parents to play a close shave the most. i called it 'the one with the sheep and the weird slime.' that said, i dont think animation has ever made me laugh in complete humor, joy, and shock than when gromit picked up those spare tracks in the wrong trousers. it was genius!
a grand day out is the best
I love how your lowest ranking one’s only complaint that it should have been a movie as it would have been fantastic to see it as one.
If Wallace and Gromit ever got a sequel movie I imagine (and would love) the plot would be a new night time terror endangers their hometown and it's only chance of survival would be Wallace having to regain his were rabbit abilities even at the risk of never being able to revert back to human form.
1:50 - 2:07 some days you just can't get rid of a bomb
When the moment comes, be careful of nearby ducks, kittens, and nuns.
