With upcoming projects in the works, let’s decide which of the famous stop-motion studio’s films comes out on top.
For Nick Park, returning the world ofWallace and Gromit16 years after the release of 2008’sA Matter of Loaf and Deathwas like “meeting up with family friends.”
“Returning to Wallace and Gromit is like meeting up with family friends. People respond to them because they feel so familiar. They’re like an old, married couple in some ways, who know each other so well –– it’s a sort of love/hate relationship, but when the chips are down, they are always there for each other. Wallace pushes Gromit’s loyalty to the extreme, and Gromit always wants Wallace to change. It’s something everyone can relate to.”
