Wallace
& Gromit are feature movies such as "A Grand
Day Out", "The Wrong Trousers" and "A Close
Shave". For those who don't know a thing about
Wallace and Gromit: They are the creations of
Nick Park, the most prominent animator in the
service of Aardman Animations.
As you will have realized by now, Wallace &
Gromit are claymation figures but Nick Park
brings them to life. Wallace is a man, Gromit's
master and a practical inventor. Gromit is the
dog, and although he never says a word the expressions
Nick gives him speak volumes, and show us exactly
what Gromit is thinking. This lets us see just
how hot an animator Nick Park is. He's also
done movies like creature comforts and Chicken
Run. Personally, my favourite is Creature Comforts,
it's really cute.

The
creator, Nick Park was born in Preston, Lancashire
(England) in 1958. He first grew fond of animation
while in school and the first films he made
were done while he was thirteen, in his parents
attic. One of his earliest works entitled
"Archie's Concrete Nightmare" was shown on
BBC Television in 1975. Nick completed a BA
degree in Communication Arts at Sheffield
England Art School in 1980 and in the same
year went on to study animation at the National
Film and Television School in Beaconsfield
Wallace
and Gromit is just one of his many projects
and it shows that his talent can lead to childrens
entertainment which is full of adult humour.
A combination that is really hard to pull
off successfully. He succeeds and wins acadamy
awards for it.
