As a fan of the English claymation series "Wallace & Gromit", the hilarious
video "The Wrong Trousers" has the characters tracking down an evil penguin
who breaks into a museum to steal a large diamond.  It's a great spoof on
movies of the "heist" genre and includes a fabulous chase scene/shoot-out on
a speeding toy train set. I highly recommend it. Loads of fun!

(In the Wallace & Gromit movies, the intelligent, loyal and sensible dog
Gromit typically saves the day for his ecentric and addle-brained owner,
Wallace.)
