Wallace and Gromit are the main characters in a series
of three British animated films by Nick Park of Aardman
Animations. All the characters were made from moulded
plasticine on wire frames, and filmed with stop motion
animation. This process is sometimes known as "claymation,"
because plasticine is also known as modeling clay. Wallace
is a hare-brained inventor, cheese enthusiast (especially
for Wensleydale cheese) and owner of the dog Gromit who
appears to be rather more intelligent than his master.
Wallace being voiced by veteran actor Peter Sallis; Gromit
is mute, communicating by way of eloquent facial expressions
(compare: Pluto).
