Wallace & Gromit have got Christmas covered

A festive gem featuring claymotion favourites Wallace & Gromit - now that's a cracker of a Christmas ad! Few would argue with the quietly witty charm inherent in the animated couple's adventures, and this 1'30" campaign for another iconic British brand - luxury clothing firm Barbour - does not disappoint. With artificial intelligence (AI) shovelling pressure on advertisers to come up with something in line with its own galloping development, many are loving this staunch blend of stop-motion craftsmanship and clever scripting, hailing it as representing proper festive spirit. What do you think? Wallace & Gromit creators Aardman explain that after its "festive collaborations with Shaun the Sheep, Barbour is once again partnering with Aardman for its eagerly anticipated 2025 Christmas advert, this time starring the much loved duo Wallace & Gromit". Alongside the ad, Barbour has created a limited-edition run of Re-loved Wallace & Gromit inspired wax jackets, with all proceeds going to charity Oxfam. The clothing company itself says: "This year's film brings a light-hearted charm to Barbour's Original and Authentic Tartans including the Classic Tartan Scarf and the exclusive, reimagined Winterberry Tartan wrapping Wallace's ingenious Gift-o-matic. Whilst rooted in our British heritage, the story's themes of generosity and togetherness resonate far beyond the UK, reflecting the universal spirit of the season." Fans of fellow Aardman character Shaun the Sheep will be glad to hear that this Christmas, he's working with Save the Children in an ad called 'The Knit Before Christmas' (https://youtu.be/7i_cGjbXuac?si=glJRbFD4L2YXoree)
