Release date: December 26 1993.
Story: It is Gromit's birthday and Wallace has brought him an unusual present. A pair of Techno-Trousers. Which were created by NASA for space and planet exploration purposes. Later on that day (while the trousers take Gromit for a walk) Wallace discovers that they are in debt and so puts the spare room to let. And soon they do get a lodger in the form of a penguin. Who is quite impressed with the Techno-Trousers...
My thoughts: The second animated short with Wallace and Gromit. This has more story and a lot more action. The penguin himself is a classic villain. Sinister in a silent way. The climax is amazing and would leave you on the edge of your seats. Also I notice something with Gromit's birthday card in the first scene. Originally it plays 'Happy Birthday to you' but in other VHS and DVD copies, it plays 'For he's a jolly good fellow' instead. But anyways it is a great animated short and one of the greats.
My score: Five stars.
