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).
