Wallace and Gromit

I haven't had a chance to see the new movie yet, one of the downfalls to being a Dad with kids that are a wee bit too young for the movie. My friend that I referenced in the last post took his 3 year old to see it and, for the most part, Luke loved it even though Wayne thought that Luke probably had some trouble understanding the... resiliancey of most animated characters.

From what I've seen about this weeekend it looks like the duo did quite well, even though my wife's favorite movie Serenity is tanking big time.

Sadly though, the creators of Wallace and Gromit haven't been so lucky. When they should be celebrating their good fortune, they are looking to recover from a serious fire that destroyed most of their archived materials from their earlier shorts and other works. Thankfully, there were some pieces that were not in storage yet, but it's really depressing to see that much historical material melt down in a fire.

Next thing you know, I'm going to find out that the Henson Creature Shop was gutted. That would really depress me.
