Does Wallace and Gromit count as a movie?

Recently just watched The Wrong Trousers again and forgot how much I loved some of the little details:

There are two callbacks to the first film, A Grand Day Out, within the first two minutes, the first is the rocket mural on the wall and the second is the newspaper headline that Gromit's reading 'Moon Cheese Skyrockets!'

In another scene with Gromit reading a newspaper, one of the articles is headlined 'Dog reads newspaper'

Wallace keeps his piggy bank in a safe, behind a picture of a piggy bank.

When Wallace is fast asleep and walking up the side of the building there is an advert on the next building for sleeping pills.

The film noir and western references were completely lost on me as a child but there's a wonderful scene where Gromit is watching the Penguin and only his eyes are lit, leaving the rest of him in shadow.

I like how subtle Feathers McGraw's disguise is. :v:

In The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!:

One of the pirates (possibly the the 'Pirate with gout') is wearing a Blue Peter badge.

Probably doesn't mean anything to people outside of the UK but it is an iconic UK kids tv show (according to wikipedia it is the longest running in the world) and the symbol for the show is a blue pirate ship.

Hot Fuzz:

quote:

In the scene in the Somerfield store, when Angel is confronting a youth for shoplifting, a DVD copy of Shaun of the Dead can be seen for a few frames. The title is Zombies' Party, the Spanish and Portuguese title for the film. Further homages to Shaun of the Dead are also present in the film. In one scene, Nicholas wants to chase a suspect down by jumping over garden fences, however Danny is reluctant. Nicholas responds "What's the matter Butterman? Never taken a shortcut before?" while smiling arrogantly before jumping over them. When Danny attempts it, he trips and falls through the fence. It is almost identical to a scene in Shaun of the Dead, including the fall-through-fence gag (in Shaun of the Dead however, it happens to Simon Pegg's character rather than Nick Frost's, and he falls over the fence rather than through it).
