FilmFocus.Co.UK (Joe Utichi)
It's hard to believe, but we've not seen a new Wallace and Gromit adventure since 1995's A Close Shave (not counting a series of shorts called "Cracking Contraptions" released on the web in 2002) and that back then none were longer than 30

Filmtracks (Christian Clemmensen)
It's difficult to tell the exact boundaries of where Nott's contribution begins and ends. He reportedly wrote all of the themes and action motifs before "allowing" the various other composers to flesh them out. The salvation here, though, is that

Looking Closer (Jeffrey Overstreet)
It’s fun, but it's too busy, too eager to amaze ... [unlike] Pixar’s films, which are supported by patient character development and storytelling that moves us.

Austin Chronicle (Marc Savlov)
Enough with the CGI animation, Disney, DreamWorks, et al.: Between Tim Burton’s smashingly fine Corpse Bride and this excellent new outing from Nick Park and UK-based Aardman Animations, the limitations of pixelated renderings are revealed in full, and

My first impression of the film, Wallis and Gromit was very funny. My favourite character was Gromit because he made me laugh a lot. Before I went to the film I thought it would be quite boring but I thoroughly enjoyed it from the start. I would

Paul McElligott's Movie Review Diary
The shorts are amazing and while I really enjoyed the movie, part of me wondered if Wallace & Gromit work better as shorts. It seemed like the pacing for Wallace & Gromit works better as a short and the movie seemed a little too drawn out at times.
