In honour of this summer’s Gromit Unleashed 2 Trail, we’re screening a trio of short film classics from the Aardman archives.

This is a rare chance to see award-winning films A Grand Day Out (1989), The Wrong Trousers (1993) and A Close Shave (1995) back to back and on the cinema screen - thumb prints and all!

A Grand Day Out sees Wallace and Gromit jet off for an interstellar picnic, whilst in The Wrong Trousers, a penguin with attitude threatens to steal the day, and A Close Shave marks loveable Shaun The Sheep’s debut appearance.

Come and celebrate two decades of claymation magic from Bristol’s very own globally renowned animation studio.

Screening with DepicT! short: Carpark (Dir: Ant Blades, 2014, 1min, 32 secs).

Part of Anim18: A Celebration of British Animation. For activities and events across the UK see anim18.co.uk.

Led by Film Hub Wales and Chapter (Cardiff) working with the BFI Film Audience Network and project partners, with the support of the BFI, awarding funds from The National Lottery.
