1989?! It's so odd to think that this short film has been part of British culture, and seemingly on the telly every Christmas, Easter and Bank Holiday since 1989.
The reason for it's success? Because it's clear what a labour of love it was for Nick Park going through the painstaking process of stop motion animation. It's also a good story, that appeals to both adults and children.
Is it the best of the 'Wallace and Gromit' films? Probably not. But it has stood the test of time, and there's lots of flashy big budget animated films that won't do that.
I think people will still watch this film for many years to come.
