Squatting Gromit Stop-Motion Puppet

Catalogue copy

A squatting Gromit stop-motion puppet from Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham’s Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. As always, Gromit was the first to suspect that something was amiss with the Norbot gnome. Trusting his instincts, he investigated further and ultimately uncovered the true culprit behind the chaos: Feathers McGraw.

Designed and created by four-time Academy Award winner Nick Park, the beloved Wallace and Gromit have defied convention for more than three decades, cementing their place as cinema’s unlikeliest—though no less legendary—action duo. Without superpowers or violence, the cheese-loving inventor and his loyal canine companion have secured their place amongst the greats through ingenuity, humour, and heart.

The latest chapter in Aardman’s beloved Wallace & Gromit franchise, Vengeance Most Fowl, was met with widespread critical acclaim, earning numerous awards and nominations while delighting audiences with the return of one of animation’s most memorable villains. The film continued Aardman’s tradition of inventive storytelling, meticulous craftsmanship, and distinctly British humour that has made Wallace & Gromit a global favourite for more than three decades.

Gromit, here, the very apogee of "man’s best friend", is crafted from silicone with malleable arms to facilitate repositioning during animation; however, his fully jointed metal armature keeps him faithfully rooted in a permanent squatting pose. His puppy-dog eyes are plastic, and his prominent snout is resin. He comes displayed on a wooden base.

A dog of no words and, happily, few scratches too, he’s a smashing-looking chap.
