Subjective Rating: 9/10 (One of my favorites, 4/4 5/4). So much whimsy. It's kind of sad that all the other Wallace & Gromit films are spoofs of film genres (although I guess you could argue this one is a take-off of "A Trip to the Moon"); their best moments are when they're just doing their own thing.
Objective Rating (Average): 3.3/4 3.4/4 (Very good)
