3:05 pm A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008, 29 min.)
Wallace’s Top Bun bakery may be rising but Gromit kneads answers about a stirring murder mystery. Oscar nominee
4 pm Sold Out: Stop-Motion Animation Workshop
Note: The workshop is full at this time. A few spaces may become available at the last minute, so a stand by line will form at the west doors of the building adjacent to the parking lot.
This 90-minute hands-on workshop will offer a small group of participants the opportunity to learn some of the stop-motion animation techniques used by Aardman Animations when making their Wallace and Gromit films. Recommended for children between the ages of 8 and 13. Admission is $10 per child, limited slots available. Instructed by Frank Guttler.
