...with a Google Doodle. The beloved plasticine duo appeared as an illustration on the Google UK homepage this week to mark the 20 years since Nick Park's duo appeared in public back in 1989 at an animation festival in the 22-minute romp A Grand Day Out, later broadcast by the BBC. As The Guardian reported, "so a UK institution was born". But they're pretty darn popular worldwide, too.


Not only is Nick Park one of the most genuinely talented filmmakers working in animation today (arguably the most talented actually), he’s also an incredibly humble and sweet man who has not been at all poisoned by Hollywood or fame. I hope he goes on to have even greater success and that Wallace and Gromit are around for another twenty, forty…hundred years. Congratulations Nick, Peter and David!
Time to celebrate!
Cheese for everyone!
Love all the W&G stuff. Congrats Nick.
Cheese, Gromit! Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!
We just finished watching “The Curse of the Were Rabbit” again – our Halloween tradition. I hope they make another feature film very soon! GENIUS.
Every “Wallace and Grommit” film has been cracking good top-notch quality entertainment from start to finish. Really inspiring and joyous stuff.
Wonder if those two have ever had sex? It would be cool and ok if they did. Now thats claymation!
As good as a slice of Wensleydale!
I love them! Stop Motion is an art!
