Background
[edit]Gromit
[edit]Gromit is a dog belonging to an eccentric inventor, Wallace, in a series of claymation films produced by Aardman Animations, based in Spike Island, Bristol. Three of the films in the Wallace and Gromit film series have won Academy Awards: The Wrong Trousers,[2] A Close Shave[3] and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.[4] The second feature film - Vengeance Most Fowl - was nominated for an academy award. [5]
Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal
[edit]The aim of Gromit Unleashed is to fundraise for Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal. Founded in 1995, the charity raises funds for paediatric medical equipment at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children and St. Michael's Hospital. In collaboration with Aardman, it uses the characters Wallace and Gromit as mascots for the charity.[6]
