The Wrong Trousers
British clay animation Wallace & Gromit was created by Nick Park and produced by Aardman Animations. The series revolves around Wallace, a kind-hearted, eccentric, cheese-loving bachelor and inventor, and Gromit, his loyal and intelligent anthropomorphic dog.
In the Oscar-winning The Wrong Trousers, Wallace rents out Gromit’s bedroom to a penguin. The latter takes an interest in the techno trousers created by Wallace. Only later, Gromit learns the penguin is a wanted criminal.
