7. Gromit
โข Gromit is a very important character because he never
speaks in any of the programs and ๏ฌlm but his facial
expressions tell a whole different story. when they
came to making Wallace and Gromit the ๏ฌrst idea was
to have Gromit talking but when they realised that is
facial expressions and body language were more
interesting and it was received well by critics as they
thought he was the perfect double partner for Wallace.
they got rid of the actor who would do the voice over.
Nick Park created Gromit as the UK being dog lovers.

around the world especially their most famous work
Wallace and Gromit.
