Aardman Animation of England’s beloved stop-motion characters Wallace and Gromit return in Wallace & Gromit’s World of Invention, a six-part BBC-1 comedy television series originally broadcast in November 2010.
In this series of adventures, British inventor Wallace and his faithful canine sidekick-turned-cameradog Gromit take an enthusiastic look at some bizarre real-life inventions, from gadgets that help around the home to the mind-boggling world of space travel. Needless to say, not everything goes smoothly as they present the stuff from their laboratory/TV studio/basement at their home on West Wallaby Street.
The Wallace & Gromit franchise has been going strong for more than two decades. During this time, two of its shorts — 1993’s The Wrong Trousers and 1995’s and A Close Shave — won Academy Awards for Best Animated Short Film, while another pair garnered Oscar nominations. The animated duo also starred in the well-received 2005 theatrical movie The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
Timed to the release of Aardman Animations and Sony Pictures Animation’s new stop-motion theatrical film The Pirates! Band of Misfits, the Blu-ray and DVD of the TV show also includes the bonus feature “Your World of Invention,” which provides details on how viewers can construct six of their own contraptions.
