“MACHINE MADNESS” continues with the greatest British, cheese-loving, contraption-building, man and dog duo imaginable! In anticipation of Aardman’s newest Wallace & Gromit outing, we revisit the first three short films that skyrocketed them (to the moon and back!) to become two of the most iconic and loveable stop-motion characters of all time!

• 'A Grand Day Out' (1989) - On a quest for his favorite snack, Wallace takes Gromit on an out-of-this-world adventure to discover if the moon really is made of cheese.

• 'The Wrong Trousers' (1993) - Wallace takes in a mysterious lodger, but Gromit's suspicions are aroused when the new arrival shows interest in his master's techno-trousers

• 'A Close Shave' (1995) - Wallace and Gromit find themselves ensnared in a deadly mystery involving sheep rustling, a malevolent guard dog, and true love.

'ANIMATION CLUB' is an ongoing series that celebrates new and classic animated films from around the world! From studio titans to hidden indie gems; traditional 2D to stop-motion, 3D animation, experimental, and everything in-between!
