CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

areatw Everyone has their own personal taste in films and TV shows but I'm yet to find anyone who doesn't love the 'Wallace & Gromit' series. This famous man and dog duo are simply impossible to dislike. 'A Close Shave' is another wonderfully imaginative and entertaining short and, like the rest in the series, a film that just never gets old no matter how many times you've seen it.The attention to detail and the amount of effort that must have gone into every frame is mind blowing. No special effects or CGI, just plasticine and a hell of a lot of time and effort. The 'Wallace and Gromit' series will never get old and will always remain one of my personal favourite animated series of all time. It's a wonderful and iconic creation that will never grow old.

O2D I have no idea what I have just seen.After the first two Wallace and Gromit shorts I had high expectations for the third.I couldn't have been more disappointed.For some reason W & G are window cleaners this time.By the time you stop thinking about that, it's too late to just turn it off.Wallace falls in love with the owner of a wool shop whose windows they clean.Her name is Wendolene Ramsbottom and I'm not sure how I feel about that.On one hand I get that it's a genius joke, naming her after a window cleaning product and an animal that is similar to a sheep.At the same time it doesn't make any sense because she doesn't clean windows and no one gets wool from rams.Maybe I'm over thinking her name but it's the most interesting thing about this short.My least favorite thing about this is that they take the newspaper joke from The Wrong Tros and use it to death, without it ever being funny.I heard they made a Shaun The Sheep movie and I shudder to think what it may be like.Kids might enjoy this but it's definitely not for everyone.Anyone over 10 should on this.

gavin6942 Wallace (Peter Sallis) falls for Wendolene (Anne Reid), a wool shop owner, while Gromit is framed for the sheep rustling.I have now seen just about every Wallace and Gromit cartoon and I am still confused by their popularity. I like the animation, and I think the themes are sort of neat (the cheese obsession, for example). But the humor largely escapes me. Things that are obviously intended to be funny do not even make me smile.My lack of understanding aside, the film proved to be critically very well-received. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor "The Wrong Tros", "A Close Shave" won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1996.Not only was it given an award, but Shaun, the youngest of the flock of sheep in this feature, proved to be a very popular character and in 2007 was given a TV series, "Shaun the Sheep", which has been broadcast worldwide. In 2009, "Shaun the Sheep" itself spun off another series, aimed for toddlers, entitled "Timmy Time". Timmy was a baby sheep in Shaun's flock, and the series was an educational one about his time at playgroup.

Michael DeZubiria You can't really go wrong with Wallace and Gromit, and A Close Shave is no exception. The hilariously traditional Yorkshire duo are running a window-washing business that one day leads them to a wool shop run by a bizarre-looking British woman who immediately wins Wallace's heart, despite a deep sadness behind her eyes and a vicious-looking dog. It should be noted, by the way, that the makers of this short movie have succeeded in giving a claymation character deeply sad eyes. This alone might have been reason enough for why it won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. While Wallace follows his helplessly stolen heart, Gromit finds himself framed for a mysterious sheep-stealing and killing scheme and is thrown in prison. An adventure follows that could only exist in a Wallace and Gromit film and includes, among other things, a hilarious truck/motorcycle chase with the help of an incredibly coordinated flock of helpful sheep. Enjoy!
