Oh my gosh what is this from? The one where Wallace and Gromit go to the moon?

[–] Silic0n_Alph4@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Aye, laddie, that’s A Grand Day Out. Now be a good sport and pass the Wensleydale, would you?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Haha, I knew that was the one! Oh man. Good times.

To replenish their depleted supply of cheese, inventor Wallace and his dog Gromit travel to the moon in a homemade rocket-ship.

Worth a watch, definitely.

The Jawas will probably pick it up some day.

c3po and r2 are wandering away from it

Did it not live YEARS past its expected time?

Any chance the rover can like... Repair it?

One day in the distant future, that little guy will be sitting in a museum.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com -1 points 9 months ago

Not unless it's a museum in Mars. Bringing it back to Earth would be a massive waste of resources.
