What it’s about
Wallace falls in love with wool-shop owner Wendolene, not suspecting that she (or rather, her dog) is at the head of a fiendish sheep-rustling plot. Gromit is set up and jailed, but his new-found sheepish friend is determine to give Wallace a helping hand in finding out the real truth.
Why we love it
From the same claymation-animation studio that produced “Chicken Run” and “Flushed Away,” “Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave” is a great romp — and a fun example of what can go wrong when machines decide they know better than humans!
