Wallace and Gromit

Cheese-loving inventor pair

Wallace and Gromit are a British animated duo—an eccentric cheese-loving inventor and his silent, long-suffering dog—created by Nick Park for Aardman Animations.

The clay stop-motion characters first appeared in 1989 and became icons of British humor, known for their elaborate contraptions and understated wit: It's like something out of Wallace and Gromit.
