Wallace and Gromit

This richness of character and relentlessly paced animation (the model train chase in The Wrong Trousers and the motorbike pursuit in A Close Shave) have carried clay animation to unprecedented heights. --Wow, that's pretty fancy-shmancy wordsmithing for claymation. But it's pretty true. Wallace and Gromit are excellent characters in excellent shows. Dig thier homepage:
