 Indeed - I even have a "Wallace & Gromit" calendar (considering that it's
 an *animated* feature, I suppose that's philosophically comparable to Edgar
 Bergen's famous ventriloquist act, which reached the peak of its popularity
 as a *radio* show... :-)
 
 Anyway, thanks for the tip.
 (I wonder if one of those big-money 3D customers (amusement parks, etc.)
could
 persuade Nick Park to do a short 3D feature. :-)

For what it's worth, David Burder's Christmas card (and Nick Park's in
fact...) showed a lenticular of Wallace, Grommit, Wendoline and Shawn all
sitting down to Christmas Dinner.

As well as 3-D, it's animated - with Wallace carving a huge piece of cheese
and Grommit beating the table with his knife! 

What anyone who has seen this card will probably NOT know is that David was
rather worried about delivery time on the lenticular, so the actual card is
printed with an anaglyph version (not animated, of course) which is covered by
the lenticular print... I have both versions here - and they're very
effective.
