wallace and gromit doesn’t claim to be set in any particular decade but also it’s definitely set in the 60s and every anachronism is a dagger in my heart. if i see a smartphone i’m going to poo down a netflix executive’s chimney

wallace would NOT have a computer

i don’t know what i mean but i feel like West Wallaby Street has been gentrified

i guess we’re looking at a time skip aren’t we. maybe up to the late 80s where wallace might conceivably have a pc like that. still doesn’t excuse wpc mukherjee’s uniform

@floppyplopper he would have something that reads punchcards

@pisscotheque @floppyplopper Or paper tape

@req YES

@pisscotheque anyway i'm super curious how the movie goes, please tell me it's gooddd

@heatherhorns_lite i think i’m gonna need a rewatch before i know if i like it - i definitely did with Loaf and Death which i did not like on the first viewing. i don’t feel charmed by this so far but i am a cantankerous old sod about this sort of thing

@pisscotheque oh i was the same way! i feel like loaf and death was the series getting a little big for its britches, but managed to keep it together.

I dunno, maybe it's cause I grew up with em, but I think the spirit of the first three, uh, shorts/movies/episodes is something that high production values clash with.

Like, it took until the third once to have a speaking character that isn't wallace, and even then, it's femme wallace. And there was a lot of charm in the roughness

@pisscotheque i don't think that means wallace and gromit can't be good anymore. in fact, if anything it's more impressive that loaf and death was still good, because i think at that point you feel it making the effort trying to keep the story...smallish?

Like, it's all stuff that doesn't really involve the outside world that much. You don't see the cops in a speaking role arresting gromit in A Close Shave, you just see a picture. Not cause it's a rule to follow, just a low budget's focus

@funkula this passes absolute muster
