Wallace and Gromit Join Google Hangouts for the Holidays

Google's social network Plus wants to remind users that its suite of sharing tools can be used to bring together the family for the Holidays — in particular, it's video conferencing tool, Hangouts.

Not wanting to pass up a chance to do the ad in style, the folks at Google got together with animators Peter Lord and David Sproxton of Aardman for a ten-fold claymation reunion.

The ad stars Wallace and Gromit, hosting a Google Hangout get-together with a number of other famous Aardman creations, including characters from Chicken Run, Creature Comforts, and Shaun the Sheep.
