From wikipedia:
The Wallace and Gromit films were shot using the stop motion animation technique. After detailed storyboarding, and set and plasticine model construction, the film was shot one frame at a time, moving the models of the characters slightly between to give the impression of movement in the final film. In common with other animation techniques, the stop motion animation in Wallace and Gromit may duplicate frames if there is little motion, and in action scenes sometimes multiple exposures per frame are used to produce a faux motion blur. Because a second of film constitutes 25 separate frames, even a short half-hour film like A Close Shave takes a great deal of time to animate well. General quotes on the speed of animation of a Wallace and Gromit film put the filming rate at typically around 30 frames per day - i.e. just over one second of film photographed for each day of production. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a perfect example for how long this technique takes to make quality animation; it took five years to make.

They’ve traveled to the moon, foiled a dastardly penguin in a diamond heist, solved a sheep rustling caper, relieved an English village from a plague of rabbits and attended the Oscars four times. But up until now, unlike most other international film stars, they had never shopped at Harvey Nichols. All is about to change for our much loved heroes.
Nick Park Creator and Director of Wallace and Gromit “I'm really impressed, it's great to see Wallace looking so chic and stylish. Wallace isn’t exactly known for his street-wise fashion sense he usually shops at Tank-Top Man. He’s really chuffed with his new look, I think he wants to keep the clothes – he can’t stop looking in the mirror.”

This winter you are invited to join in with Wallace & Gromit’s Great British Tea Party, on the 5th of December, and help raise vital funds for sick children and their families in hospitals and hospices across the UK:
