I'm getting Big Bird too. That's not right, Gromit ;)

Maybe the people over at Google don't realize Wallace and Grommet are very appreciated in America as well.

My 4 year old wanted to watch Were-Rabbit every day for 2 weeks.

i'm finding it hard to care about claymated characters.

my roommate in college had a thing for wallace and gromit. she had this horrible ceramic alarm clock thing that sang some obnoxious tune every morning that had the theme of the doughy duo.

it drove me mad, and i guess i developed a hate for the medium. Chicken run makes me equally stabby.

This. We tried to see A Matter of Loaf and Death at the Chicago Children's Film Fest but alas it was sold out. Anyone seen it?

Appropriately, just got my copy of The Complete Collection on Blu Ray not forty minutes ago.

Oh Droosan, YOU SO WITTY.

droosan: trousers don't get much wronger than that.

/Liter +1, which is worth about twelve cents Canadian.

I used to work at a college radio station with Gromit. He's Nick Park's brother and says that Gromit was based on him, the sensible one in the family, and that Wallace was based on their father, who was a bit of an eccentric and invented things as a hobby. We watched the Oscars together when his brother won, and I've never seen a guy so proud in all of his life. Good times, good times.

Great show. I love british humour.

Oh, BTW for those too lazy to type it out and use .co.uk instead,

I miss Wallace and Gromit

 
scamp-dun-emer 2009-11-04 05:56:38 PM  
.com.au has cookie monster too.

But most kids (under 10) I know prefer W&G to Sesame St so .... not sure why ...

 
TekSkek8 2009-11-04 06:20:45 PM  
Yay Wallace and Gromit!

I think that one of my favorite parts in the Were-Rabbit movie was where Wallace ended up nekkie in the tent and put a box around him, which was labeled "Warning: May Contain Nuts."

Hehehe

 
aearra 2009-11-04 06:23:54 PM  
Typical Wallace and Gromit you have to pay attention all the time. My favourite was a photo of Gromit graduating from Dogwarts.

I just tried 'google.co.uk' and got the same thing posted above by spartan6652.

It's Thursday in the UK as I post this, maybe that's why no Wallace & Gromit.

 
Hand Banana 2009-11-04 11:57:26 PM  
Apparently they're randomized. I had Big Bird earlier but now it's the Cookie Monster.

 
exparrot 2009-11-05 01:57:55 AM  
Were-rabbit was a crass attempt compared to the first three. Didn't aardman go broke ont the 'cgi that looks just like claymation' 'Flushed Away'?

/brilliant move that
