A Close Shave
A cracking wacky adventure.
Directed by Nick Park
Produced by Aardman, BBC Bristol Productions
A whimsical, handcrafted stop-motion comedy about loyalty and romance, where an innocent dog is framed in a sheep-rustling scheme but ultimately vindicated through the bonds of friendship.
Wallace's whirlwind romance with the proprietor of the local wool shop puts his head in a spin, and Gromit is framed for sheep-rustling in a fiendish criminal plot.
