This BBC Video claymation masterpiece, starring Wallace and his canine friend, Gromit, won the 1993 Academy Award for Best Animated Short.

When a felonious penguin rents a room in Wallace's house, strange things happen, leading the stars on a wacky adventure. Parents will enjoy watching this humorous, unusual video with their kids.

Note: the criminal penguin totes a gun, which he shoots during a wild toy train ride. The other award-winning Wallace and Gromit videos also are worth checking out, including "A Close Shave" and "A Grand Day Out''.
