    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Nick Park made Wallace say "Wensleydale" because it made his face look nice and toothy. He was unaware that the factory where Wensleydale cheese is made was on its last legs and was about to declare bankruptcy. Happily, this film's success brought the factory back from the brink.
    • Goofs
      When rushing to get in the ship the first time, Wallace kicks away the paint-stained ladder, which falls to the ground as they take off. Yet when they land on the moon, they use the same paint-stained ladder to get in and out of the ship.
    • Quotes
      • [Wallace and Gromit are on their spaceship, about to leave Earth]
      • Wallace: No crackers, Gromit! We've forgotten the crackers!
    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the credits, we see the ball which Wallace kicked continuing to float upwards.
    • Alternate versions
      On the children's television network Sprout, the scene of the robot igniting the rocket has been heavily edited. The robot climbs into the rocket, but we do not see it breaking a pipe, spilling rocket fuel, lighting the matches, or igniting the rocket. The rocket just blasts off with no explanation.
