Trivia:
The signpost recycled as a propeller reads Halifax 32; Lancaster 40; Sunderland 59. This narrows down the location of Tweedy's Farm to the Yorkshire Moors, probably somewhere in Upper Wharfedale or Littondale. A short way north of Upper Wharfdale is a place called Wensleydale, which is Wallace and Gromits', another Aardman creation, favorite cheese. Those town names were also all names of British WWII warplanes. moreGoofs:
Continuity: After Mrs Tweedy falls off the plane, the shot of Fowler saying "The old bird bought it" is flipped (the "17" is the wrong way round and is also on the wrong side of the hut door). moreSoundtrack:

This movie is all you could hope for in summer film fare. It had action, suspense, romance and a large helping of comedy. I was predisposed to love the movie, being a great fan of Wallace and Gromit, and the movie lived up to those other award-winning works. The movie works on every level, and was fun for all ages viewing it. Even my husband, who disdains children's movies, was truly enjoying himself. Needless to say, the children loved it, despite one rather gruesome off-screen moment, but that seemed not to matter too much. All in all, I can't recommend this movie too highly, it was incredibly entertaining and well-done.
