Wallace and Gromit

Wallace is one of the titular main protagonists from Wallace and 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 unlikable.
 * 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.
