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.)
