| Wallace & Gromit's Cracking Contraptions (2002) |
| A Christmas Cardomatic (2002) S.E8 |
| A Christmas Cardomatic
It's nearly Christmas and Wallace is getting into the festive spirit. He's decided to make some "tasteful" Christmas cards with the help of Gromit, lots of glitter and his brand new card-making machine. But Wallace is so carried away by the resulting masterpiece that he fails to notice the extraordinary scene unfolding in the garden.
Wallace has built a machine to make Christmas cards, with a camera hooked up to take the pictures for them. He has set up a crudely built snowy landscape in the living room, and Gromit - dressed in a bird costume - is reluctantly posing for the pictures. Wallace is pleased with the results, then hoists the backdrop away and walks off, not noticing the picturesque winter scene outside the window. The birds perched out there wave to Gromit, and one blows a party noisemaker at him when Wallace calls out for him to lick the stamps. |
