Wallace and Gromit are the main characters in
a series consisting of four British animated short films and a
feature-length film by Nick Park of Aardman Animations. All the
characters are made from moulded plasticine modelling clay on metal
armatures, and filmed with stop motion clay
animation.
Wallace, an absent-minded inventor living in
Wigan, Greater Manchester, is a cheese enthusiast (especially for
Wensleydale). His companion, Gromit, is an anthropomorphic
intelligent dog. Wallace is voiced by veteran actor Peter Sallis;
Gromit remains silent, communicating only through facial
expressions and body language.
Voiced by Peter Sallis, and by Ben Whitehead
in Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, Wallace can
usually be found wearing a white shirt, brown wool trousers, green
knitted pullover, and a red tie. He is best known for his love of
cheese, especially Wensleydale, and crackers. His birthday is
7 August
Gromit lives with Wallace. His birthday is 12
February. 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, reading the newspaper, and cooking. His
prized possessions include his alarm clock, bone, brush, and a
framed photo of himself with Wallace. He is also very handy with
electronic equipment and an excellent aeroplane pilot. He resembles
a beagle
