A Grand Day Out Building A Rocket.mp4

What that sudden burst of motivation at 3am looks like

Truer words have not been said.

[@scsutton1]

The notes that Nick Park had for this scene were simply: There is now a sequence where Wallace and Gromit build a rocket. It took him nearly two years to film.

[@benwasserman8223]

Amazingly, the entirety of The Wrong Trousers took 18 months to complete. Park definitely learned how to manage productions in that time.

[@CBeaumontHIGTFY]

The difference being that Park was a one man band for the first part of Day Out, before he got the job with Aardman. They helped him finish Day Out, whilst also working on Creature Comforts and the one with the Dancing Chickens, then name of which escapes. Wrong Trousers was done as a full team with Aardman.

When I was little, I used to imagine I could invent a lot of contraptions because Wallace and Gromit inspired me.

[@philthornton1382]

No one is on Wallace and Gromits level, neither of phineas or ferb could build a rocket on a Sunday evening when B&Q is closed

[@marcodiaz6322]

1:13 It looks like the mice are saying: “Ooh they’re good. Very good!”😊

[@DoonGhard]

I love this short. I like watching the older W&G shorts because there's an authentic roughness to the animation that you can't get with digital or faceless professional studios. The indication of there being blood, sweat and tears poured into each motion, the homemade practicality feels so inclusive to people aspiring to do things like this as a living and I love all of it.

[@HoldenMcGeeProductions]

I’m still surprised they didn’t become rich after making that rocket

[@hobomike6935]

the beginning of the second film (wrong trousers) shows that they are in financial peril. My headcanon is that building this rocket is the reason XD Wallace is a genius and but is a scatterbrain just struggles with day-by-day management. That's where gromit comes in :)

[@superspeedbros2422]

They became rich with cheese.

[@jermfanaccount]

i'm surprised that throughout the shorts and the movie, Wallace and Gromit haven't gotten hired by NASA. the man either just has NASA-grade rocket thrusters laying around in his basement or him and Gromit made them by hand, how haven't these two been hired yet???

[@tomedy_official]

Well the thing is it illegal to have your uncertified rocket

[@Mooseski117]

Who do you think Spacex gets their rockets from? Jeff Bezos? Nah bro, they just recruit Wallace and Gromit to make them

Actually in comparing those two, Wallace is phines and gromit is ferb.

[@williambenstead1925]

1:10 - That is what I call karma! Gromit looks out from under his umbrella, and a spot of paint lands on him at that moment!

[@williambenstead1925]

@CK124’s KZbin Channel of Cuthings and Chaos I don't know if I did use the right word for it or not, but I think the karma was that Gromit was using an umbrella to stop paint dripping on him, and then he moves his umbrella away for one moment, and that's the moment a drop of paint lands right on his muzzle. So he might as well have not been hiding under an umbrella, because a spot of paint dripped on him anyway. I don't know if karma is really the right word for it, but I do think it ironic.

[@michaelbenoit248]

This was my childhood as a kid born in the early 2000s of 2003. Up till I was 10-12 I never had access to KZbin at all since it had not grown mainstream till about 5-7yrs ago when everyone got phones. When I was 10-11 very few people had smartphones, & then when I was 13-14 people started getting smartphones & things started to change.

The rocket worked yet some of their cracking contraptions they built don't and looked rather amateur compared to this! Hope we see more of them even if Peter Sallis doesn't voice Wallace they've done TV adverts without him and think he would want Nick and the team to carry on and Wallace and Gromit of course.
