I discovered Wallace and Gromit my freshman year in high school... I was taking an Environmental Science Class when my teacher, Mr Rosenblum, showed us "Creature Comforts" as part of a test... directly following that he also showed us "The Wrong Trousers" just for fun!
I was hooked. I spent the next couple months searching everywhere for Wallace and Gromit. Unfortunately it was early 1995 and I was not online so I had a very difficult time. I was able to catch a few "Making Of..." shows on pbs, but until I saw them stocking Wallace and Gromit videos at Borders almost a year later I was at a loss.
As soon as the stores started carrying the movies on VHS I convinced my parents that I absolutely needed them. I ended up recieving the movies as a christmas gift. Then I noticed a store in the mall started carrying their merchandise! So of course I got the t-shirt, I got the stuffed animal Gromit, I got a poster, I got magnets (unfortunately the poster and magnets have been lost in the vast abyss of time and lost things). So from that point on I sorta became a walking wallace and gromit commercial when I wore my t-shirt. Random people would come up to me and tell me how much they loved Wallace And Gromit.
The little claymation guys had snuck their way into my heart, I love 'em!
So, getting on with it, I should have made this site ages ago... here's my Wallace And Gromit site!
