Wrong trousers or Close shave?


Well, wich one do you think is the better one?
In my eyes, a close shave, though the Wrong trousers was more revolutionary.
I would really like to hear your opinions......

I think The Wrong Trousers just slightly edges in front; I just felt that it was slightly funnier and a smidgeon more exciting. I did think A Close Shave was still very good, though.

I think "A Grand Day Out", "The Wrong Trousers", "A Close Shave", "Cracking Contraptions" and "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" are all equally FANTASTIC! I've seen every episode of "Shaun the Sheep" and I think that's fantastic too.

The Wrong Trousers, mainly because of Feathers Mcgraw and the train-scene at the end. Oh, and when Gromit leaves the house, that was a sad moment.

The train scene at the end of this film puts it ahead - Its funny regardless of how many times you have seen the film!

Thw Wrong Trousers is my fave, but i love the sheep in a Close Shave, so sweet.


How you turn my world, you precious thing.

reply

I love them both, but I like Wrong Trousers b/c of the great Train sequence.

reply

I agree 100%. I can just memorise that whole scene.
"Hang in there, Gromit! Everything's under control! I'll have that if you don't mind, eh?"

reply

Both are great but I prefer The Wrong Trousers.

They are both great, but I vote for A Close Shave, the pacing is excellent.

reply

The Wrong Trousers because of Feathers McGraw and how a lot of the film techniques are an hommage to film noir.

Best bit for me is when Feathers takes off his disguise (the rubber glove) and turns out to be Mister Penguin. Da da dah!

reply

Easily the Wrong Trousers: for Gromit leaving home and the brilliant train chase at the end. Fabulous.

reply

Wrong trousers - it was genuinely sad when Gromit left home. When he was put into prison in Close Shave, it simply wasn't as sad - and was almost funny. The sheep were undeniably magnificent but Feathers McGraw is so magnificent and better than Preston by miles (not that I dislike Preston)

reply

The wrong trousers was very funny but I thought the sheep especially sean were just so adorable i couldnt stop laughing at them throughout the whole movie. Its close but id have to say the Wrong Trousers.

The Wrong Trousers! Feathers McGraw is such a great little villain. Everytime he appeared on screen and the menacing music began to play, I cracked up.

Let's see if you bastards can do 90.

I first saw The Wrong Trousers when I was seven at an animation show at my local independent movie theater. For some reason, I was scared witless by the penguin's mischievousness. It might have been because I was seven and I wasn't developmentally ready for something like that. Whatever the reason, I grew out of the scared phase and into the hilarious phase. I remember having nightmares after seeing it in 1993, but when I watched it in 2006 at a friend's house late at night, I didn't have any nightmares. I actually thought it was light compared to when I saw it in 1993. In fact, because of the train sequence at the end, it's now my favorite W&G movie. Strange how these things work.

Ron Weasley: Hey, Hermione...you're a girl.
Hermione: Oh, well spotted.

The Wrong Trousers.

Because, I have been able to rewind this film, and watch it again, since I was four. The close shave was kinda scary, but I haven't watched it as much, and I don't actually have a DVD of any of them.

TBH, the new film about Ware-rabbits is good, but I don't have that emotional attatchment.

reply

The Wrong Trousers. More emotional. The Penguin is a better villian than the dog, but they both make good villians. The Penguin is more cunning, though.

reply

I think I prefer A Close Shave, but it's very close. Either way they are both excellent, timeless peices of comedy that lose their appeal for me.
