TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

In a radio interview, director Nick Park said that Wallace's references to Wensleydale cheese in this film unintentionally saved a small British cheese-maker from bankruptcy. Interest in the cheese was sparked by the film, and one of the few makers of Wensleydale suddenly found itself with numerous requests for it, thereby saving it from financial ruin.

When Gromit is sitting in jail, "Feathers was 'ere" is written on the cell wall behind him. Feathers McGraw was the villain of The Wrong Trousers (1993).

The debut of Shaun the Sheep (2007), who would get his own animated spin-off. Wallace naming him Shaun is a play on the word 'shorn', when sheep get their fleece sheared.

When Gromit is reading the newspaper, one of the headlines says "Killer Dog On Loose. Lord Baskerville Not Connected." This is a reference to the Sherlock Holmes story, The Hound of the Baskervilles.

The very first Wallace and Gromit film where Wallace is not the only one who talks.

Popular Dialogues

"Wallace: Have you been peckish during the night? Only, someone's been at me cheese."

"Wallace: [seeing Preston operate a replica of Wallace's Wash-O-Matic] Where'd you get that from? That's MY machine! I've got patent pending on that!"
