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 really like How to Train Your Dragon and think it's one of the best animated movies in recent years. Way better than some of the written-by-committee, toy-driven, oh and can we get some celebrity voices in there? stuff that's happened. (Robots. I'm talking about Robots.) Content: In the same film, that all the shields, houses, boats whatnot are covered in dragon carvings/paintings. Makes perfect sense in context and while it's not the most subtle thing I can always appreciate world building.
