This summer, Shout! Studios is returning to the convention center for San Diego Comic-Con 2023 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Wallace & Gromit, the British stop-motion comedy franchise created by Nick Park and produced by Aardman Animations.
Wallace & Gromit revolves adventures of Wallace (Peter Sallis, Ben Whitehead), an eccentric, cheese-loving inventor, and his intelligent and resourceful anthropomorphic beagle, Gromit. The first short film, Wallace & Gromit: A Grand Day Out, was made public in 1989 and nominated for an Academy Award in 1991 (it lost to Creature Comforts, another animated film by Park). However, the franchise went on to win three Academy Awards: The Wrong Trousers (1993) and A Close Shave (1995) won in the Best Animated Short Film category, and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) won in the feature film category.
Fans of Aardman’s animation classics won’t want to miss the Shaun the Sheep headbands or The Wrong Trousers photo opportunity at the Shout! Studios booth at #4118.
Additionally, role-playing game enthusiasts can pick up a custom SDCC exclusive Shout! Studios’ 20-sided die to run their own sword and sorcery adventures, and fans of the cult TV series Farscape can pick up a commemorative button pack.
