Review of The Wrong Trousers (1993) by Steve M — 06 Apr 2006
When Wallace falls on hard times, he takes on a lodger... a manipulative penguin who soon replaces Gromit as Wallace's best friend. But what sinister secret is the penguin harboring?
This is perhaps the best of all the "Wallace & Gromit" animations. It gains its comedy from the fact that it plays almost like a Hitchcock film. If it wasn't for the mechanical trousers, the genius dog, and the penguin criminal mastermind who duisguises himself as a rooster (Wallace's moment of recognition that his new best friend is criminal ["It's you!"] is priceless!) this claymation feature would be more of a suspense film that most of the movies that pass themselves off as such.
Worth watching for the crime drama/suspense movie spoofs, the great animation, and the hilarious gags. Anyone whith a love of old movies and wacky humor needs to see "The Wrong Trousers.".
