Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. It kept the atmosphere of the three original shorts, and surpassed them. The story was great, and from a technical perspective it was absolutely brilliant. The Wrong Trousers is so entertaining that you don't even notice until the fourth or fifth viewing that there are only three characters in it. For example, the penguin cases the museum, but you don't see a single guard. The penguin is brought to the police station, but you don't see a single policeman. Still, everything is paced so rapidly, with a great chase scene at the end, that you don't even notice what's missing.
A Close Shave, meanwhile, adds a few new characters (loved the cyberdoggie!), those wacky sheep, and an even bigger chase scene. But for this film, Aardman animated not only a chase, but also huge crowd scenes. It was absolutely brilliant, and tons of fun.
