[click on Gromit for movie review]
Apart from our friends Dave & Jen's three-legged dog, Maggie and my sister's stuffed toy puppy, Angel (which she's had since she was 7 and who we must of course believe has a life of its own independent of her), this is my favorite dog in the whole world, and has been for the past ten years, ever since A Close Shave. Even better than Snoopy.
'Cause unlike Snoopy, Gromit would make me a pot of tea.
"...you might compare Gromit to Shrek, who has the genetic advantages of Mike Myers's Scots burr, a bevy of celebrity-voiced sidekicks and rivals, and state-of-the-art computer-animation technology. Good for him. But Gromit, made by hand and animated by a painstaking stop-motion process, has something Shrek will never acquire in a hundred sequels: a soul."
