Watched online, good print.
All Directed by Nick Park.
The first 3 are about 30 minutes each, the last is 20 minutes worth of 10 titles (yes, each about 2 min).
The Wrong Trousers is clearly the best, with a terrific plot, and more emphasis on Gromit. Wallace is literally asleep during a big chunk of his screen time. The penguin is excellent, because he's being deceptive, so it's appropriate for him to be expressionless.
The robot of A Grand Day Out was also very good. Loved the poodle in Loaf.
My disc had no c.tracks, but I borrowed one that did. Amazing that Nick Park admitted that Trousers was his fave.
