Watching the Wallace and Gromit shorts was a big part of my growing up with films and falling in love with animation (particularly clay-mation) when I was still young. I've seen every film at least six times, as they were regularly shown on TV. Don't know how it is nowadays, as I have stopped watching TV years ago (don't even have "TV-connection" at home anymore), but I guess it hasn't changed much: German Television is still regularly running the 100th repetitive showing of all Mr. Bean episodes (maybe more on these cherished memories from my youth in the future - I haven't seen ANYTHING as often as those ), so I guess Wallace and Gromit should be still running somewhere from time to time. 
The last time I saw one of the shorts is already several years ago, and somehow I still haven't come around to watching the original versions on DVD, so my surprise with the film will be indeed very great, cause I've grown up with the guys speeaking German , thanks to Germany's fabulous (ironically speaking) policy of having EVERYTHING dubbed ( - one of the reasons I don't watch TV anymore). Naturally I intend to watch the film in English, so I'm anxious. But though the film has been already running for some weeks here in Berlin, I haven't yet come around to watch it. As they are so precious to me, I want to see them with an important person from my life (same goes for the newest Jarmusch), but they are all living in other places than me. @#%$!! 
Well, I still haven't figured out, what I'll do, maybe watch them alone, maybe wait for the DVD, though the best solution would be visit a friend (but I'm broke and travelling is very expensive...) so I don't know what exactly to do, yet.
But I promise to write a review, when I've seen it - whenever it will be
