In honor of the film release this year I carved my pumpkin as Gromit!

Started off with just a sketch copied from an old Wallace and Gromit calendar I have.

First off, I’d like to thank Daniel Brett for emailing me. According to him and Jordan Bellamy, Hut 17 from Chicken Run survived the fire because it’s currently located at The Imperial War Museum. Some other sets are rumored to be around, if you get news of these don’t hesitate to drop me an email […]

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit predictably topped the UK box office during it’s opening weekend, taking in $16.4M (9.4M GBP) source. The film came in #2 in the US box office, with a second week total of $11.7M (6.4M GBP) for a US total of over $33M (18.6M GBP). This is great […]

As promised, I updated the site today to include a new Reviews section for Curse. So far I have my own review, and reviews from a couple people who emailed me. Want a review of your own posted? Drop me an email: Lyz@PrincessLeia.com

It’s ashame there wasn’t more put into marketing, the majority of people I tell about the movie don’t know anything about Wallace and Gromit, they’ll be missing a great […]

I’m thrilled to say the movie was amazing! I saw it last night at a 7:40pm showing, hardly containing my excitement. I laughed out loud often, great humor. It was brilliant. I’m putting together my own, expanded, review but probably won’t be able to post it until tomorrow. In the meantime, why don’t you write […]

The US release is tomorrow! I’m so excited! And I’m overwhelmed with articles coming in, it’s taken me a few hours to go through them all, quite a change from when I launched the site in 2002! I’d also like to announce that we’ve had more hits in this past week than ever before, thanks […]
