A Grand Day Out was finally finished and transmitted on Channel 4 on Christmas Eve, 1990 - 6 years after production began! Nick Park started creating the film in 1982, as a graduation project for the National Film and Television School.

It was directed, co-written, and animated by Nick Park at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield and Aardman Animations in Bristol. Wallace panics, thinking the robot is angry over the cheese he is taking with him, and he and Gromit retreat into the rocket. Four animated adventures featuring Nick Park's inimitable pair of plasticine heroes: cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his long-suffering dog Gromit.

Unable to climb up the ladder, the robot cuts a rectangular hole into the fuselage using a can opener. In 'A Matter of Loaf and Death' (2008), the pair have converted their home into the 'Top Bun' bakery - complete with rooftop windmill - but with 12 local bakers having gone mysteriously missing, Gromit worries that they'll soon make up the baker's dozen. With his master otherwise engaged, it's up to Gromit to rise to the occasion and solve the mystery before Wallace becomes the next victim of the 'cereal' killer.

The short won the first BAFTA Award for Best Short Animation awarded in 1990, beating out Park's other nominated short, Creature Comforts. After he and Gromit leave, the robot comes to life and gathers the dirty plates left at their picnic spot.

Park saw an overweight Labrador Retriever named Wallace, who belonged to an old woman boarding a bus in Preston.By the time I came to Aardman, I had just started doing the Moon scene and somebody told me, "It's going to take you another nine years if you do that scene!

However, the devious dog frames Gromit for the disappearing sheep, and Wallace must pull himself together in time to save the reputation of his old pal. Wallace was originally a postman named Jerry, but Park felt the name did not match well with Gromit.

Park wanted to voice Gromit, but he realised the voice he had in mind— that of Peter Hawkins— would have been difficult to animate. The only solution is to get in his homemade rocket and head for the biggest block of cheese in the universe: the moon.
