The Wrong Trousers


The Wrong Trousers is a 1993 stopmotion animated short film directed by Nick Park at Aardman Animations, featuring his characters Wallace and Gromit. It was his second halfhour short featuring the eccentric inventor Wallace voiced by Peter Sallis and his silent but intelligent dog Gromit, following 1989s A Grand Day Out, and preceding 1995s A Close Shave.

The film begins at 62 West Wallaby Street on Gromits birthday at breakfast. After being tipped out of bed and dressed using several mechanical contraptions, Wallace is greeted with a large pile of bills. Wallace remembers Gromits birthday and presents Gromit with a somewhat unwelcome gift of a spiked dog collar, and a second present of a pair of exNASA robotic Techno Trousers, acquired by Wallace to alleviate the burden of taking Gromit for walks.
