The Wrong Trousers - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Moon Cheese Shares Soar!

The headline on Gromit's newspaper is a direct reference to the previous film, A Grand Day Out, where they traveled to the moon to find cheese.

The Dog Food Box

When Gromit spies on the penguin from a box, he cuts out the eyes of the dog printed on the box, creating a hilarious visual pun where his real eyes replace the cartoon ones.

Hammond Radio

The radio station the penguin listens to is a nod to the sound and music style used in the film, particularly the use of the organ.
