A good movie, an improvement over the previous films, but with a little original script.
29 November 2018
This is the third animation short involving the characters Wallace and Gromit, from Aardman Studios, a British studio whose speciality is stop-motion animations. They are small movies with a basic script, full of moments of humour that entertain and make you laugh. In this case, everything revolves around wool: the sheep have disappeared and been killed, which has led to a shortage of wool. Meanwhile, Wallace begins to date the owner of a wool shop, at the same time as Gromit is charged of the sheep abductions. Unwittingly, of course, as will be seen quickly.

Technically, the film has major improvements compared to previous films. The materials used in the making of the dolls seem of better quality and there is more attention to detail. Unfortunately, I think the film loses quality because of the script: this is just one of three films (two short films and a feature film) where the script is so similar that it seems copied and recycled: Wallace falls in love with a girl who keeps secrets and deceives him, while Gromit is the sacrificed one and, ultimately, the saviour of the day. This is the script's skeleton here, just as it will be in "Matter of Loaf and Death" and "Curse of the Were-Rabbit". At least, not very original.
