Wallace & Gromit's Cracking Contraptions(Movie, 2002)

Wallace and Gromit's Cracking Contraptions is a British series of ten Wallace and Gromit stop-motion animations varying in length from 1 to 3 minutes. Each episode features one of Wallace's new inventions and Gromit's skeptical reaction to it. The series was produced and released in 2002 by Aardman Animations. All ten shorts were aired on BBC One after the television premiere of Chicken Run (2000). The idea for Cracking Contraptions came about when Japanese broadcasters were desperate for new material and asked if there were any shorts they could air on TV. This was the first Wallace and Gromit production in widescreen. ()
