My kids still don\u2019t talk much<\/a> when they happen to be watching TV, but these are the words my bright-eyed daughter said today on seeing the image below, at the start of the Wallace & Gromit<\/a><\/i> cartoon A Close Shave<\/i> (1995). I wonder to what degree she made that association, between those words and this image, because she recognized which episode this was, and to what degree she made that association because she recognized the sheep silhouettes themselves<\/i>. Or perhaps the menu screen tipped her off.<\/span><\/p>\n
