Climb onboard for a space rocket adventure with Wallace and Gromit! There’s no more cheddar in the house, and Wallace is determined to go where there’s plenty of cheese — to the moon! With Gromit by his side, Wallace hammers together a space rocket, and they take off for a carefree moon-side picnic. Along the way, they encounter mouth-watering cheeses and a neurotic moon machine! Tingle your taste buds and tickle your funny bone in this exciting quest for cheese.

Wallace and Gromit knit up trouble in another wacky adventure! Just when Wallace falls in love with the enigmatic Wendolene, owner of the local knitting shop, the intertwined pair get wrapped up in an underground sheep-rustling scheme. Sheep run rampant, and Gromit is framed and sent to jail! Get ready for motorcycle chases, prison breaks and dog food danger as Wallace and his new-found flock rush to save Gromit and his true love.
