They have already won two Oscars, three BAFTAs and numerous other awards, and now, here comes their first full-length feature film. They are Wallace and Gromit, the stop-motion clay animation characters from Aardman Animation (the company that hatched the hilarious Chicken Run five years ago).

The movie sees them enjoying a big success with their humane pest control set-up named, amusingly, “Anti-Pesto”. The reason for the boom...
