Line #9 Awesome/WallaceAndGromit


1	!!WesternAnimation/AGrandDayOut
2	* The whole plot. It's the bank holidays, the stores are closed; and we're out of cheese! The horror! What to do? Fight your cheese withdrawal until the stores are open again? Inconceivable! Hey, the moon is up...
3	--> ''"[[CheesyMoon Everybody knows the moon is made of cheese...]]"''
4	** To go into more detail: a man and his dog, who have run out of cheese in the fridge, decide to go to a place where there's bound to be lots of cheese, namely the moon. They immediately get to working on a rocket ship that takes them to the moon, using whatever materials they have at disposal in their home. Not only does the rocket ship function perfectly, the duo apparently built the whole thing from scratch on the same night.
5	** It's also a fun display of Wallace's thinking - he was already planning on going on holiday on the bank holiday anyway, so why not kill two birds in one stone?
6	* After realizing they hadn't packed crackers into the rocket, Wallace rushes out, scoops up as many packets as possible and makes it back into the rocket just before the fuse detonates.

8	!!WesternAnimation/TheWrongTrousers
9	* Some credit must be given to Feathers for the heist. If it wasn't for the ceiling tile coming loose, he would've gotten away without a hitch.
10	* The moment after Feathers has pulled off the heist, and locked Wallace in the wardrobe. He turns around, and there's Gromit, with a rolling pin in hand, looking very cross. Of course, the next moment has Feathers pulling a gun, but still... ''awesome''.
11	* Gromit hotwiring the Trousers while in a cramped cupboard in near-pitch darkness.
12	* The model train chase. All of it. To clarify, our heroes are locked into a deadly train chase with Feathers [=McGraw=]. The aforementioned dastard switches tracks, leaving our heroes destined for a painful crash. However, at the last possible second, Gromit notices a nearby box of "spare track". He grabs it and begins ''laying track in front of the speeding train'', guiding it to safety, his paws a blur. Not only that, he is able to select the right pieces while doing that to pull off course corrections.
13	** At the beginning of the scene, Wallace, normally TheLoad, ends up stuck in his Techno-Trousers standing on the caboose in the parallel track. As he rolls by Feathers, he snatches the penguin's gun out of his flipper.
14	--->"I'll have that, if you don't mind, eh?"
15	*** Also, credit where credit is due: he almost ended the chase earlier when [[BigDamnHeroes he caught back up on the kitchen trolley, net at the ready]]. Pity his net caught that moose head on the wall...
16	---->"Tally-Ho! Leave him to me! I'll get the bounder!"
17	** Gromit's final revenge on Feathers after all he put him through. Having the techno trousers haul him off to his new prison cell....in a zoo.
18	* The fact that this film managed to make a plasticine penguin the villain of this piece and have it be ''genuinely sinister''. So much so that you're actually scared for Gromit when it looks like he's been caught spying on Feathers.

20	!!WesternAnimation/ACloseShave
21	* The ''Series/{{Thunderbirds}}'' inspired way Wallace gets into his window washing gear.
22	* Wallace and Gromit pursue Preston, driving a truck full of sheep, in their motorbike-and-sidecar. Gromit, in the sidecar, comes loose from the motorbike and rolls off the road and over a 2000-foot drop. One might think this the end of our beloved canine hero, but instead he hits a sequence of buttons in the sidecar, transforming it into a plane, armed with a porridge cannon, and proceeds to make repeated flyby attacks on Preston! Awesome.
23	** For extra catharsis points, Preston had largely been a remorseless stoic up until this point, but Gromit's flyby attacks are the first time we see Preston panic.
24	* Wallace somehow managing to regiment a bunch of [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass usually mindless sheep]]. Not only does he lead them in an elaborate prison escape for Gromit, but gets them to form themselves on a motorbike (first as a human - er, sheep - pyramid, and then to fit inside an upcoming tunnel).
25	-->'''Wallace:''' Get yourselves organized down there!
26	** The sight of Shaun riding the motorcycle when Wallace is trapped on the ladder.
27	** The escape itself is awesome. Gromit receives a jigsaw in the post, so he sits at his table, sadly putting it together. [[DoubleTake Then he looks at the finished jigsaw and is startled to see a message]]: "FRIDAY NIGHT 8PM BE READY. A FRIEND". A quick check of the calendar and clock reveals that that's exactly the current time and date. Then he turns to see Shaun standing at the window ready to break him out. With a circular saw. Oh god, yes!
28	--->'''Wallace:''' Brilliant teamwork, lads!
29	* Though it was in vain, [[GuiltRiddenAccomplice Wendolene]] finally turning on Preston, hitting him with her staff when he bullies Shaun and telling him she's done working for him. When he just loads her into the lorry in response, she belts a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech at him.
30	* After flying his monoplane through two walls (by retracting the wings), Gromit doesn't make the button in time for the third wall and loses the wings, flying directly towards Preston while losing altitude fast. What does he do? Activate the porridge cannon and shoot at the floor, ricocheting the shots directly into Preston.
31	* Preston gets sucked into the Knit-O-Matic so, winking at the camera, Gromit adjusts the setting: '''[[TitleDrop Close Shave]]'''.
32	-->'''Wallace:''' Well done, Gromit! That'll teach him!
33	* Shaun is practically made of this throughout the entire climax, coming to Gromit's aid many times as Preston nearly gains the upper hand. Bonus points for riding an anvil ''directly towards the Mutton-O-Matic'' so as to knock Preston in.
34	* After his RoboticReveal, a vengeful Preston makes a menacing bee line towards Shaun, who is rightfully terrified. Gromit, using his improvised bungee, quickly snatches Shaun away, giving Preston [[DeathGlare a look of "Don't you dare lay a paw on him!"]] as he does so.
35	* Ladies and gentlemen, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvWXPPYoWXA "The Greatest Moment in Cinema History"]] (it's not actually cinema, but still).

37	!!WesternAnimation/AMatterOfLoafAndDeath
38	* The rescue scene. Through a bizarre series of events, Wallace, Piella Bakewell, and Fluffles fall into a crocodile exhibit in a zoo. Wallace manages to grab hold of the wall with his foot and catch Piella's ankle, but poor Fluffles ends up falling right into a crocodile's open mouth. Then, within literally seconds, Gromit hurtles over the wall, wraps the elastic string of Piella's sunhat around Piella's nose, uses that string to ''bungee jump'' into the crocodile's mouth (which he props open with a long loaf of bread to keep it from closing), and grabs Fluffles just in time for the elastic string to pull them both out. The crocodile's mouth closes too late, leaving it blinking in bewilderment as if to say "What the ''hell'' just happened?"
39	** The events leading up to the above are no slouch, either. Upon realizing that Piella is in trouble, Wallace (literally) hands Gromit the wheel of their bakery truck, climbs across the truck to ''jump onto the front of Piella's bike'', and slows the bike tire with his knees, using a pair of buns as brake pads. It doesn't quite do the job, but it probably helped a great deal.
40	* The ''{{Film/Aliens}}'' parody. [[MiniMecha You know the one.]] Yeah, it was [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilariously funny]], but Fluffles still managed to channel the spirit of Ripley.
41	** The MeaningfulEcho is especially awesome. Prior to the fight, Piella had enough of Fluffles betraying her and gave her a vicious backhand. The first thing Fluffles does in the mech is smack Piella one back, with enough force to send her to the other side of the room for that matter. [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine Karma for an animal abuser at its finest.]]
