Amazon gets streaming rights to Wallace & Gromit; “Amazon has streaming video?!” says America
Indomitable inventor Wallace and his silent dog Gromit are coming to Amazon Prime’s streaming service, a fact that should delight you, unless you, like seemingly everyone else in America, didn’t realize that Amazon even had a streaming service. “Why isn’t this on Netflix?” you might ask, befuddled. “I would like to watch Wallace & Gromit, maybe with a Hannibal or The Americans chaser,” you might say. “They should be on Netflix.” But they’re not on Netflix, you might be informed. They’re on Amazon Prime, which has a yearly subscription fee, rather than a monthly one, but actually works out to be a bit cheaper. You frown. “But I have Netflix,” you say. “They should be on Netflix.” Somewhere, probably, Jeff Bezos silently fumes, his fingers playing over the head of his cane, which we have to imagine is a totally awesome skull. “They can’t get this skull cane on Netflix!” thinks Bezos. “They’ll have to come to The Everything Store for that!”
