We all know that the moon is made of cheese, so when "Wallace" and his long-suffering hound "Gromit" run short of their precious Wensleydale - and maybe after watching a bit of "The Mouse on the Moon" (1963) on the telly - they decide to build a rocket and take themselves to this Elysium of fromage. After a last minute dash to get the cream crackers, off they go and are soon positively rolling in the stuff. Thing is, though, they are not the only occupants and their escapades now really begin. I rarely mention voice credits on animations, as many of us don't get the same people, but the delightfully charismatic comic actor Peter Sallis is inspired casting as the voice of "Wallace" and the animation skills of writer Nick Park and the Aardman team make for a really engaging stop-motion story that is amiable and enjoyably paced for twenty minutes of colourful and characterful drama. It's simple, uncomplicated and well worth a watch.
