 "Number One by a close shave" | 2005-10-17 |
| - Reviewed By questionboy |
| This is my favorite Wallace and Gromit adventure, by a close shave over The Wrong Trousers. The characters have more depth, the plot is more complex, there's more dialogue, and Gromit is more emotionally involved and endearing. I think this third installment in the trilogy established Nick Park's brilliance, which led to his ongoing success in feature films. |

| A Close Shave wasn't quite as good as the other two, but it's still a great video. In this one, Wallace & Gromit have a new window washing service. One day, they are called to wash windows and a store where Wallace meets Wendolene, the owner of the shop. She is nice but her evil dog, Preston, is up to no good. He has planned to steal Wallace's latest invention, the Knit-O-Matic and use it to make sheep into dog food. Find out how Wallace & Gromit stop at nothing to prevent Preston from taking over the Knit-O-Matic. |

 "Still good" | 2004-07-23 |

This is the third of Nick Park's incredible Wallace and Gromit series. It's certainly the most complex. There are lots more characters (including one with a speaking part), lots more cartoony gadgetry, and a great chase scence. That involves a truck, motorcycle, airplane, and flock of sheep - good stuff.
For all that, "A Close Shave" really isn't my favorite in the W&G trilogy. The love interest was a bit forced, for one thing, and the plot had a slightly serious tone that just didn't work for me the way the other W&G movies did. Well, I can't blame him for trying.
"A Close Shave" is a worthy companion to Park's other W&G stories. It's kid-safe, with no real violence or adult themes, but still holds an adult's attentio. My attention, at least. Enjoy!

| Good clean entertainment that does not rely on double entendres to keep the adults entertained. This really is entertaining for all ages, and that is a great achievement. The characters are cute without being sickly sweet and the story is well paced and heartwarming. This video sold a million toys and boosted sales of cheese (!). Give it a go - you will not be disappointed. |

| I first saw this Wallace and Gromit film when it was run on Cartoon Network. I loved it and I had to watch it again so I rented it and liked it even more the second time around! And now I bought it! In the film, news gets around town that there's mysterious sheep rustling going about, and it really gets suspicious when Wallace, the polite inventor and his faithful pet dog Gromit are hired to clean the windows of a wool shop. On that day, Wallace becomes hopelessly infatuated with shop owner Wendolene. Little does he realize that she (or rather her evil dog Preston) is behind the sheep rustling, and frames Gromit for his dastardly deeds. So it's up to Wallace, Shaun and a slew of other sheep to get him out of jail and stop Preston from slaughtering innocent sheep to make dog food out of. All in all groovy, very cute, and non-violent. I reccomend it to anyone at any age! :o) |

| A stolen sheep escapes its captors and appears in Wallace & Gromit's home. Numerous sight gags and odes to classic animation jokes add to the enjoyment. Immense attention to detail, several plot twists, and nail-biting suspense are all here. I never get tired of this video, even though my granddaughter (age 3) watches it daily. END |
