The Wrong Trousers™

It's Gromit the dog's birthday, and his friend Wallace gives him an unusual present - a pair of Techno-trousers. At first Wallace uses the trousers to take Gromit for walks, but when the penguin comes to stay, he uses them one night for something different - very different. This strange story won the Oscar® for Best Animated Short Film in 1993.
