After looking through A Close Shave on Tuesday for easter eggs and enjoying it, I thought I would do another post about all the easter eggs in the Wrong Trousers. Much like A Close Shave, I have watched this film so many times, but only after constantly pausing the film over and over again did I see all the hidden little details.

One thing that is pretty obvious is the use of items from a Grand Day Out in the Wrong Trousers. Throughout the film you can see the rocket from A Grand Day Out and nods to the film.

This sled appeared in a Grand Day Out in the basement. In A Grand Day Out, the sled had Rose Bud written on it as a link to the classic film Citizen Kane.

The film made after the Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave, featured a cast of sheep. The Wrong Trousers shows us what to expect from the next movie with many pictures of sheep cropping up.

When watching the film, the one thing I wasn’t expecting was a postcard from Disneyland featuring Mickey Mouse.

As well the rocket and sled in Gromit’s room he also two over interesting things. The first is a Batman kite!

The second is the bookshelf. Take a look at the books… Fish, Penguins, Lassie, Sheep, Stars, and Canines. Seems like a cast list for animals in the Wallace and Gromit films.

As Gromit looks at the adverts in the newsagent’s window, one advert stands out.

The museum that Feather’s burgles also holds a few secrets. The first thing we can see is an exhibit with 5 different penguins like Feathers.

We now see another character from Creature Comforts, this time it is the lion. He is in the same pose in his exhibit as he is in Creature Comforts.

The last interesting item found in the museum are the mummies and the sarcophagus of what looks like old relatives of Wallace and Gromit.

Two things in this film link it with Curse of the Were-Rabbit. The first is an advert for Snoozy Choc as Wallace walks up the museum building.

You are probably wondering why this is a link to the Were-Rabbit; let me tell you. One idea being banded about during the production of Were-Rabbit was Wallace would learn to play the banjo, and drive Gromit so mad he would put Sleepy Choc in his drink.

The second link to the Were-Rabbit is the Austin A35 van. When Gromit is in the cafe reading the paper, you can see a very familiar van. This is the same model of van, and may even be the same van, that Wallace and Gromit use as the Anti-Pesto van in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
