Qui prétend que les poules ne volent pas ? Pour les poules de M. et Mme Tweedy, la vie obéit à une règle simple : il faut absolument pondre des œufs, sinon, on finit en pâté ! Mais Ginger et ses amies n'ont pas que des plumes dans la tête, et elles sont bien décidées à s'évader un jour pour aller courir dans l'herbe verte. Lorsque Rocky, le coq volant venu tout droit d'un cirque, atterrit dans la cour, les poules saisissent enfin leur chance. C'est dans les airs qu'il leur faut chercher le chemin de la liberté ! Elles vont donc apprendre à voler... Vous retrouverez dans ce merveilleux album toute l'histoire du film Chicken Run, réalisé par les créateurs de Wallace et Gromit.

A superbly animated comic adventure that appeals to all ages.

It's the night before Gromit's birthday, and Wallace is in the shed planning a surprise: a party with lots of balloons and home-brewed cheese. It's a surprise, alright, when Wallace goes overboard with the helium, and the shed disappears into orbit where zero gravity makes the Home Brew Cheese Kit go into hyperdrive. Soon, Mr. Patel's greenhouse suffers a close encounter of the direct-hit kind and, with West Wallaby Street facing its very own "Edamgeddon," Wallace assembles a crack team to journey into the unknown. Thus, man and dog blast off into space, and with First Knitting Officer Wendolene and Bill "Cheesy" Cheeseman also aboard, Crackers in Space may be Wallace & Gromit's cheesiest mission yet.

When Wallace the inventor meets Wendolene in her wool shop, he falls in love with her at once. But why does her dog, Preston, hate Wallace's dog, Gromit? Then, after Wallace's new sheep-shaving and pullover-making machine falls into the wrong hands, things start to go very wrong. Can Gromit save Wallace from the danger of a 'close shave'?

It's Gromit the dog's birthday, and his friend Wallace gives him an unusual present - a pair of techno-trousers. At first Wallace uses the trousers to take Gromit for walks, but when the penguin comes to stay, he uses them one night for something different - very different. This strange story won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film in 1990.

The Teacher's Book provides specific teaching notes for each episode.

Nick Park first created Wallace and Gromit in his student sketchbook at art college, and developed them in Plasticine for his film school graduate project, "A Grand Day Out". "The Art of Wallace and Gromit" revisits these early sketches and follows the evolution of Wallace and Gromit and their many friends and foes, not to mention their countless cracking contraptions.

A great addition to our annuals list. With new and familiar stories characterised by slapstick comedy and visual humour, which will appeal to children, while adults will enjoy sharing in the spoof-horror element of Were-Rabbit. Includes puzzles, activities and quizzes, as well as profiles of the inventive heroes and latest villains from the new movie.
