I've sometimes had to put my foot down – usually over length and overelaboration. If I hadn't, A Close Shave would have been 50 minutes long, rather than 30, and that's an awkward length. In fact, A Close Shave contains the best scene we ever had to cut. Its love story, between Wallace and Wendolene, was based on Brief Encounter and that very English embarrassment about expressing your feelings. At one point, there was a big love scene set in Crewe railway station. It's always painful but sometimes you have to throw away ideas. When Gromit is imprisoned in A Close Shave, the graffiti on the cell wall reads "Feathers was here". Park’s British stop-motion animated films have won him a total of four Academy Awards and made cheese-loving Wallace and his long-suffering dog Gromit household names. “It is such a great honour for me, as a proud Prestonian, to see my characters Wallace and Gromit cast in bronze and given pride of place in my home town,” said Park last week. In 2005 Aardman's storage facility caught fire, destroying almost all of Feathers' puppets from The Wrong Trousers, only 4 survive to this day (pictured below) Feathers McGraw's model when he was in a bottle at the end of The Wrong Trousers was featured in a YouTube Short by the official Wallace and Gromit YouTube channel.

As events spiral out of control, it falls to Gromit to put aside his qualms and battle sinister forces or Wallace may never be able to invent again! Aware of how both characters suited his musically lugubrious voice – and were loved by viewers – Sallis was happy to play Clegg for 37 years and Wallace for 15. And because he did not retire from either role until around the age of 90, he is much more immediately and vividly remembered than most performers who live to such a great age.

Gromit gains his own love interest in A Matter of Loaf and Death, when he becomes attached to Fluffles, a poodle. Fluffles reciprocates his affection and joins Wallace and Gromit delivering bread at the end of the film, and the three drive off into the sunset, making a delivery and listening to " Puppy Love" (performed, according to the record cover, by "Doggy Osmond").

Obviously it will star one man and his dog, the titular Wallace and Gromit, and it won’t come as a surprise to learn that Wallace has been busy inventing something new. This time it’s a “smart gnome”.

[ permanent dead link] The Wallace and Gromit films are shot using the stop motion animation technique. [72] After detailed storyboarding, set and plasticine model construction, the films are shot one frame at a time, moving the models of the characters slightly to give the impression of movement in the final film. As is common with other animation techniques, the stop motion animation in Wallace and Gromit may duplicate frames if there is little motion, and in action scenes sometimes multiple exposures per frame are used to produce a faux motion blur. Because a second of film constitutes 24 separate frames, even a short half-hour film like A Close Shave takes a great deal of time to animate. General quotes on the speed of animation of a Wallace and Gromit film put the filming rate at typically around 30 frames per day per animator. The feature-length The Curse of the Were-Rabbit took 15 months to make. The next morning, whilst Gromit eats Korn Flakes when watching morning TV on a mini TV radio and Wallace dries his ears with a hairdryer, he put Wallace's slippers on his feet and took the morning paper to Wallace before Gromit, winning the latter's favor and causing Wallace to pay more attention to him rather than Gromit. Bitter and rejected, Gromit left home. A happy Feathers revealed that this was just part of his plan to get Gromit out of the way and modify Gromit's biggest birthday present (the Techno Trousers) for his own purposes.

The nostalgic quality of Wallace and Gromit's world has been compared to 1950s Beanotown. [38] Filmography [ edit ] Main series [ edit ] Film After Gromit overrides the circuits on the trousers to make them march, the wardrobe's doors break open and he chases after Feathers. However, Wallace is later forced to smash out of the doors using the trousers because in the next scene, the doors are closed again. Wallace and Gromit remain firm favourites. Wallace, the eccentric inventor from Wigan who loves cheese, and his silent but very well-read associate, quietly saving the day with a range of facial expressions that have brought comparisons with the great silent star Buster Keaton.

When Gromit activates the jam-fling contraption, the headline on his newspaper reads "Moon Cheese Shares Soar!" This is probably a reference to their last adventure, A Grand Day Out, in which they visit the moon to get cheese. This is the first appearance of Wallace and Gromit in their modern designs; in A Grand Day Out, Wallace had a narrower mouth and Gromit had a longer snout.
