Continuity mistake: When Wallace races to get crackers, check the packet's logo. When the camera angle changes it's different. (00:08:57)
Continuity mistake: Gromit uses the handbrake to let the ship take off, but when travelling between the Earth and the Moon there is a shot of the control console and the handbrake has disappeared.
Continuity mistake: When Wallace races out to get the crackers Gromit is seen spinning in his chair, to the right of the screen is the handbrake in the down position. When the ship blasts off Gromit realises he's left it on and puts it from the up position to the down position. (00:08:30 - 00:09:20)
Trivia: Gromit was originally supposed to be a cat, but it was decided that a dog was easier to sculpt from plasticine.
Trivia: In the basement scene there is a red sled called Rose Bud, referencing a sled of the same name in Citizen Kane. (00:02:50)
Wallace: No cheese, Gromit! Not a bit in the house.
Question: Wallace's briefcase has a sticker upon it saying: Blackpool, Bognor and Beaconsfield. To what do they refer?
Chosen answer: Bognor Regis and Blackpool are seaside towns, so presumably, those are places Wallace and Gromit have been on holiday in the past. Beaconsfield is an inside joke: It's where the National Film and Television School is located and a number of scenes were filmed there.
