Hasn’t it been pulled due to the allegations? Oops, wrong Wallace sorry. ---

To me, nothing really beats “The Wrong Trousers”. What an epic little movie! But glad to see the bird is back. ---

I can still reliably make my wife laugh by holding my hand above my head, fingers up and spread, and asking “Have you seen this chicken?” We love W&G and are stoked. ---

I save film trailers for my son on YouTube. Can’t save this because it’s tagged for children. Does anyone know why youTube doesn’t allow ‘saving’ videos on playlists that are tagged for children? I’m sure it’s a parental control of some variety but not sure what it’s supposed to accomplish. ---

Just watched the movie. Not a spoiler but rather an explainer: Accrington is a town in Lancashire. j ---

Which nobody had ever heard of until a certain TV Advert.

I had heard of them - Accrington Stanley I mean. Weirdly I managed to get into an argument (of sorts) with their manager (read: head coach). j ---

Just saw this today. My verdict: Meh. Not nearly as good as _ **The Curse of the Were-Rabbit** _ or even as good as _ **Shaun the Sheep Movie** _ A very few laugh-out-loud bits, but this one seemed pretty weak to me. ---

Saw it, and love it. Norbot was by turns terrifying and oddly endearing. Still love McGraw as a character, just as much as in _Wrong Trousers_. ---

I agree. I think it tried too hard to be funny, and it might appeal to an eight year old. ---

I thought it excellent, the best Nick Park film since the shorts.
