    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    I can live without inventing but I can't live without my best pal!

    That line had me tearing up. A bloody marvellous film!

    The reference, the stop motion of Aardman, the gag a minute writing, the attention to detail.

    Voice acting is fantastic. Music is marvelous. This is a celebration of Wallace and Gromit, it's legacy and it's impact! I love it.

    God, what a brilliant film! Just reeking charisma and charm. Entertaining and suspenseful!

    And the new 70mm print too, it looked unreal. Just phenomenal!

    UK premiere of the new print at Widescreen Weekend.

    The story is light and the new voices take time to get used to, not to mention the inserted pop song, but the action, animation and humour have really stepped up a level and are brilliant.
