The wonderful Wallace and Gromit have parted company with their Hollywood Studio, Dreamworks. The Plasticine duo are said to have "different business interests" from their American partners who are keen to focus on computer generated animation. It might also be that the latest film from the pair's makers (Aardman Animations), Flushed Away, about a rat who is flushed down the loo, lost money. Well, come to think of it, it's not the most enticing plot line.

But we look forward to Wallace and Gromit's return to the big screen.
