Wallace and Gromit

Wallace is one of the main titular characters from Wallace & Gromit. He's an inventor who loves cheese, crackers, and lives at 62 West Wallaby Street. There is not much known about him, but he sure is a nice fella.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Wallace's portrayal is a kind-hearted, friendly, funny, and eccentric man as you can tell by his charming personality.
 * 2) He's a near-genius intellect who can be able to invent some inventions like his moon rocket or the Techno Trousers (The two of which are by far his most well-known inventions).
 * 3) Despite being eccentric, Wallace has shown signs of bravery and heroic actions when he saves Lady Tottington from being threatened by Victor Quartermaine and became so dedicated to her.
 * 4) Wallace's character proves to viewers that while he could be a type of mad scientist (it's because his inventions range from malfunctioning Rube Goldberg-esque devices to clever and groundbreaking gadgets), he's a friendly guy compared to the typical mad scientist.
 * 5) His famous craving for cheese and crackers. All is said since that is his favorite food.
 * 6) Has some incredibly funny moments such as no crackers Gromit. We've forgotten the crackers as one example. Not to mention that he does a good job at being expressive which makes some scenes worth a giggle.
 * 7) His buddy-like relationship towards Gromit. It's an iconic feature for Wallace and would take some good care of him like he was his pet. How nice if you ask us.
 * 8) According to his creator Nick Park, he made Wallace a man who is homely yet doesn't mind the odd adventure.
 * 9) Wallace does have some common sense. You see when he learned that Piella Bakewell was a cereal killer all thanks to Gromit who help warned him about what happened.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Wallace can be quite gullible at times like when he saw a slice of moon rock, thinking that the moon is made of cheese.
 * 2) Can be lazy like when he made inventions to make his life easier. But not to the point where he's unlikeable.
 * 3) At times he can be inadvertently selfish and inconsiderate, but always means well and has a good heart.

Trivia

 * Wallace was originally a postman named Jerry, but Nick Park felt the name did not fit with Gromit.
 * Wallace has a different look in A Grand Day Out, his top of his head is smaller, bigger ears and his mouth is not so wide.
 * Wallace is loosely based on Nick Park's father, whom he described in a radio interview as "an incurable tinkerer."
 * Wallace's original voice actor, Peter Sallis, passed away at age 96 on June 2, 2017
