Wallace is an inventor with a house full of labor-saving gadgets, though they don't always go to plan. Still, he can always relax with his best friend and loyal dog Gromit, who spends most of his time saving Wallace from various scrapes and a number of mischievous characters.
Due to their popularity, the characters have been called positive international icons of modern British culture and of the British people. BBC News has called them "some of the best-known and best-loved stars to come out of the UK." The short films The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave and their full-length feature The Curse of the Were Rabbit have all received Academy Awards.
Initially there will be five Wallace & Gromit downloads, each containing two great comic stories. The first is free to download and includes these two great stories:
The W Files: When strange shapes and flashing lights are seen in the night sky, there are only two paranormal investigators that can solve the problem. Sadly they aren’t available, so Wallace and Gromit might as well have a crack at it. After all, what could possibly go wrong?
WANTED: Wallace and Gromit, Pt. 1: Look out! It’s the return of Feathers McGraw, the devious penguin from The Wrong Trousers. When Feathers escapes from the local zoo, he soon hunts down the duo that put him there – Wallace and Gromit!
Subsequent releases will include Parts and Labour and WANTED: Wallace & Gromit, Pt. 2; Big in Japan and Where There’s Muck There’s Brass; Road Trip and Washday Blues; I Don’t Care What the Weatherman Says and Dogfight.
