Many versions of Wallace and Gromit info on imdb

Why is the whole Wallace and Gromit series combined into "Wallace & Gromit: The Best of Aardman Animation (1996)" in the animation top 100.
The three films are so different in style that they shouldn't be combined. There is such a great leap, that giving the series a score as a whole would just be for the fans, or comments upon the characters, and brand. In that sense This summary-info of the films shouldn't be in the top-animations films at all. Or in the database.

I know that there are pages on this site for each film, so why keep a sumarised version of a trilogy? They haven't made a site for the whole starwars, godfather, or lord of the rings trilogy, to compete as a whole against the other films.
One might say that this is a tv-series. But I would object. The short films are so different in style and story from each other that they should be rated individually, not as a group.

I totally aree.

IMHO, it's because it's the rating people gave for the "boxed set" as a single title, and if they were to someday package "Star Wars", "LotR", or "Godfather" the same way, then they would also be listed that way.

And that "tv-series" comment is bogus ... two of the three won Academy Awards for Animation, so they were (by definition) theatrical releases. :-)

Zathras have very sad life. Probably have very sad death. But, at least, there is symmetry.
