HistoryeditThe first short film, A Grand Day Out, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1. Creature Comforts, another animated creation of Nick Park. The short films The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave followed. The full length feature The Curse of the Were Rabbit was released in 2. The latter three each earned Academy Awards. In January 2. 00. Dream. Works and Aardman fell through after only three films, due to creative differences, as well as the box office failure of Flushed Away. Park said later that Dream. Works executives wanted to Americanise the very British Wallace and Gromit after test screenings, which would have tarnished some of the duos nostalgic charm. A Matter of Loaf and Death was Nick Parks first production since the end of the Dream. Works deal. It was the most watched television programme in the UK in 2. A Matter of Loaf and Death won the 2. BAFTA Award for Best Short Animation and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2. In 2. 01. 3, Peter Lord stated that there were no plans at the moment for a new short film, and Nick Park announced in the following year that the declining health of Wallaces voice actor, Peter Sallis, had the possibility of preventing any future films despite the availability of Ben Whitehead. On 4 May 2. Peter Lord stated that more projects with the characters are likely while speaking at an animation event in Stuttgart, Germany. He said, When Nick Parks not drawing cavemen, hes drawing Wallace Gromit. I absolutely assume he will do another, but not a feature. I think he found it was too much. I think he liked the half hour format. The original voice of Wallace, Peter Sallis, died on 2 June 2. OvervieweditWallaceeditVoiced by Peter Sallis until 2. Ben Whitehead in 2. Wallace Gromits Grand Adventures and Wallace Gromits Musical Marvels,9 commercials and apps. Movies On Dvd Toy Story: Small Fry. Wallace can usually be found wearing a white shirt, brown wool trousers, a green knitted pullover, and a red tie. He is best known for his love of cheese, especially Wensleydale,1. His birthday is 7 August. The thought of Lancashire hotpot keeps him going in a crisis. He enjoys tea, and on special occasions a little Bordeaux red. He reads the Morning, Afternoon and Evening Post, and lives at 6. West Wallaby Street, Wigan, along with his dog Gromit. His last name is never given. Wallace is an inveterate inventor, creating elaborate contraptions that often do not work as intended. He is a self proclaimed genius, evident from his exclamation when he discovers Hutchs borrowed skill, a talent for mechanical things. Most of Wallaces inventions look similar to the designs of W. Heath Robinson and Rube Goldberg, and Nick Park has said of Wallace that all his inventions are designed around the principle of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Wallaces official job varies in A Close Shave he is a window washer. In The Curse of the Were Rabbit, Wallace runs a humane pest control service, keeping the captured creatures nearly all of which are rabbits in the basement of his house. In the most recent short, A Matter of Loaf and Death, he is a baker. While he has shown himself to be skilled to some degree in the businesses he creates, an unexpected flaw in the inventions he uses to assist him in his latest venture or simple bad luck often ends up being his downfall. Some of Wallaces contraptions are based on real life inventions. For example, his method of waking up in the morning utilises a bed that tips over to wake up its owner, an invention that was exhibited at The Great Exhibition of 1. Theophilus Carter. He has a kindly nature, and is perhaps a little over optimistic. At times he can be inadvertently selfish and inconsiderate, but has a good heart and always means well. Nick Park, his creator, says Hes a very self contained figure. A very homely sort who doesnt mind the odd adventure. He is loosely based on Nick Parks father,1. Park described in a radio interview as an incurable tinkerer. He described one of his fathers constructions, a combination beach hut and trailer, as having curtains in the windows, bookshelves on the walls, and full sized furniture bolted to the floor. The way he dresses and his passion for cheese is based on an eccentric school teacher. In the first photo shown on The Curse of the Were Rabbit, it was revealed that once, when Gromit was little, Wallace had a full head of hair and a very thick mustache with muttonchops. On the photo that shows Gromits graduation at Dogwarts, he had lost his beard, but still had a little hair, in the form of side burns just above his ears. As shown in The Wrong Trousers, he still uses a hair dryer. In A Matter of Loaf and Death, when Wallace is talking to Gromit, a picture is seen behind Gromit of Wallace with a brown beard and brown hair. Wallace has had three love interests. The first was Wendolene Ramsbottom,1. Wendolene told Wallace that she had a calcium allergy. The second was Lady Tottington in The Curse of the Were Rabbit, whom Wallace fondly calls Totty. In A Matter of Loaf and Death, Wallace becomes engaged to Piella Bakewell,1. He remembers all three though, since in Musical Marvels, after the montage of his three love interests, he refers to them as the ones that got away. Gromit redirects here. For the protective ring, see grommet. For the web browser, see Netscape 5. Gromit is Wallaces pet dog and best friend. Gromit is generally more intelligent, more intuitive, and less naive than Wallace. His birthday is 1. February. 1. 4 Gromit graduated from Dogwarts University Dogwarts being a pun on Hogwarts, the wizard school from the Harry Potter books with a double first in Engineering for Dogs. He likes knitting, playing chess, reading the newspaper, tea and cooking. His prized possessions include his alarm clock, dog bone, brush, and a framed photo of himself with Wallace. He is very handy with electronic equipment and an excellent aeroplane pilot. Though this is not mentioned a lot, according to Wallace or any other person he is a beagle. More often than not, he is seen as a threat to the plans of the various villains he and Wallace have encountered in their adventures. Like his owner, Gromit has a good nature and kind heart he is always looking out for Wallace and others. Gromit is more aware and less eccentric than Wallace, and thinks carefully before making actions. Wallace Gromit The Curse of the Were Rabbit. Wallace Gromit The Curse of the Were Rabbit is a 2.

All are eager to protect their vegetables from damage and thievery by rabbits until the contest, and Wallace and Gromit are cashing in by running a vegetable security and humane pest control business, Anti Pesto. As the event draws close, Wallace finds themselves running out of space to cage the rabbits. He is inspired to create the Mind Manipulation O Matic machine to brainwash the rabbits and remove their appetite for vegetables. On his first attempt, a rabbit is stuck to Wallaces head as he uses the machines headpieces, and Gromit destroys the machine to protect Wallace. The machine appears to have worked as the rabbit shows no interest in vegetables though appears to have gained some intelligence.

As the townspeople begin to form a mob to learn the Were rabbits identity, Gromit quickly disguises Victor as the Were rabbit, who is subsequently chased away by the mob.
