About the show
Join us and an Aardman creative for this screening of two classic Aardman films featuring Wallace and Gromit.
The Wrong Trousers: A mysterious penguin and a pair of automated techno-trousers are the catalysts for a fast-moving comedy thriller, in which mild mannered Wallace finds himself an unwitting accomplice to a daring diamond robbery. His faithful dog, Gromit turns detective in a desperate attempt to save his master, but even he finds his ingenuity tested to the full as events build towards a spectacular and hilarious climax - a train chase around Wallace’s living room!
A Close Shave: Oscar-winning claymation comedy thriller, featuring Shaun the Sheep's first outing on the big screen. Wallace's whirlwind romance with the proprietor of the local wool shop puts his head in a spin, and Gromit is framed for sheep rustling in a fiendish criminal plot, meeting a sheep named Shaun along the way. Will Wallace snap out of his daze in time to rescue his canine companion?
This screening will take place at Picturehouse Central.Both films are rated U.
