Nick Park's first Oscar winning film. A series of interviews with the animals in an English zoo. Used to open spaces and sunnier climes, they comment on accommodation, diet and of course - the English weather.
Aardman presents Stressed Eric…a sitcom about ERIC FEEBLE, the most stressed man in the world.
Eric is 40, and lives in London. He is a middle class single father with two kids and a crippling mortgage. His son is so dim he’s been kept back at school three years running. His daughter is a frail, allergy-ridden waif of six. His wife has left him for a Buddhist and his au-pair is an unreliable waster. Even the family next door are successful and wealthy, a stressful reminder of what his life could have been.

Training her in the deadly tricks of his trade, Leon helps her track the psychotic agent (Oldman) who murdered her family.
Breakfast is Wallace and Gromits favourite meal. But why bother cooking yourself when you have an Autochef, the combined cooker and waiter on wheels? Wallace is anxious to prove that his troublesome invention is perfectly safe around the home. Gromit isnt so sure about the cheeky robot and he may have good reason to be wary.
It has always been Gromits job to walk over and switch the TV channels on Wallaces aging set. Wallace decides to save his legs by inventing a simple remote control device. Unfortunately, though the machine provides fingertip control, it is hardly instant. When Wallace turns on the TV and is confronted by a hard-hitting penguin documentary, he needs to change channel fast. Thats when Wallace realises the flaw in his design
When Wallace takes Gromit to the park for a game of football he plays to win. Unfortunately he is constantly frustrated by Gromits goalkeeping prowess. Wallace is forced to reveal his Soccamatic, a circa 1938 penalty taking machine he recently purchased mail order from Preston North End FC. It seems that Wallace has finally got the upper hand as balls whistle past the hapless dog. But Gromit has an ace up his sleeve
Its time for the annual West Wallaby Street Snowman Competition and this time Wallace is determined to win. Gromit may be a dab hand (or paw) at sculpting but Wallace has his new SpeedeeSnowman which will do the whole job at the touch of a few buttons. Wallace is thrilled with his resulting masterpiece but Gromit is left feeling rather flat
Another chore Gromit dislikes is clearing the table after meals. Wallaces Turbo Diner is designed to do the job fast and efficiently; all they have to do is top up the electricity meter. Everything seems to be going well until the lights start flickering.
