Aardman Animations went all out for Google+, with director Merlin Crossingham bringing together Aardman's best-known creations, Wallace and Gromit, along with a supporting cast of secondary players. Trixie and Captain Cuddlepuss (from Creature Comforts), Shaun the Sheep, and Ginger (from Chicken Run) illustrate the idea that Google+ video hangouts can help bring far-flung families together for the holidays.
