Wallace and Gromit

'''This page is dedicated to the late Peter Sallis, who died on June 12, 2017. May he Rest In Peace.'''

Wallace is one of the titular main protagonists of Wallace and Gromit. He's an inventor who loves cheese, crackers, lives at 62 West Wallaby Street, and keeps a pet dog named Gromit. There is not much known about him, but he sure is a nice and pleasant person to be around.

Why He Deserves Cheese and Crackers

 * 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 ground-breaking gadgets), he's a friendly guy compared to the typical mad scientist being depicted as villainous, malicious, antagonistic or underhanded.
 * 5) His famous craving for cheese and crackers. All is said since that is his favorite food.
 * 6) No crackers Gromit. We've forgotten the crackers!
 * 7) His buddy-like relationship with Gromit. It's an iconic feature for Wallace and would make sure to take some good care of him like he was his pet. How nice of him 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 adventures he gets himself into.
 * 9) Wallace may be clumsy and absent-minded, but he does have some level of common sense. You see when he learned that Piella Bakewell was a serial killer all thanks to Gromit who help warned him about what happened in the first place.

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) He can be lazy like when he made inventions to make his life easier. But not to the point where he's unlikable.
 * 3) Speaking of his inventions, some of the machines and gadgets he made would backfire on him from time to time. This would make him seem somewhat incompetent compared to the more resourceful and sensible Gromit.
 * 4) 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.
