Bad news for Wallace & Gromit fans
NO, the movie is fine - maybe not as good as "The Wrong Trousers", but some good laughs. No the bad new is this:

Wallace & Gromit: Up in Smoke
All the props and sets from the Wallace and Gromit movies were feared destroyed in a fire on Monday, the day after the plasticine pals' debut feature film went straight to the top of the North American box office. Production house Aardman Animations said a blaze at a warehouse in Bristol, England, was thought to have wiped out its entire history, including models, memorabilia and awards from the Oscar-winning Wallace and Gromit short films. "We woke up to the most fantastic news this morning that Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit had debuted in the United States at number one," said company spokesman Arthur Sheriff. "But this has really throw us. It's our entire history."

2. That's awful!
To some, it may seem just a bunch of clay that can be recreated, but those creations are SO time intensive!

My heart goes out to them... I'm sorry to hear this. :(

3. Read about that yesterday...
Really sad. I love Wallace and Grommet. My grade 9 art teacher showed The Wrong Trousers to our class to introduce us clay modelling. Loved them ever since
