** [[spoiler: Wallace rebuilding Preston after all he'd done. True, the result was a rather pitiful husk of himself, but he did try to bring back the good dog Wendolene loved before. She even gives him a loving pat as they leave.]]
-->'''Wendolene:''' [[spoiler: He's just like he used to be.]]
* Gromit and Shaun are surprisingly loyal to one another. One might assume Gromit would be jealous of Wallace taking on another pet (since their last guest gave them so much trouble), but Gromit never shows him any malice; if anything, he's at worst annoyed by Shaun's munching on everything, but he never gives him grief over it, since Shaun's a very young sheep. When Gromit sees Shaun being kidnapped, he doesn't hesitate to save him, and in doing so earns Shaun's loyalty, enough that he'll help break Gromit out of prison. During the climax, as [[spoiler:Robot]]!Preston is advancing predatorily on Shaun, Gromit swoops down on his improvised bungie cord and snatches him to safety while giving Preston [[DeathGlare a look of "Don't you dare lay a paw on him!"]] The film even ends on Gromit, clearly having had enough of this nonsense, refusing Wallace's commands to chase Shaun away so he'll stop eating their cheese.

* A meta example, Anne Reid (the voice actress of Wendoline) has commented in interviews that of all the roles she's played, and of all the people she's worked with, out of her entire career...the most wonderful experience she had was working with Creator/NickPark on ''Wallace & Gromit''. On the back of one of her script pages, he drew a sketch of Wallace, Wendoline and Gromit, and a short thank-you message to her, which she eventually had framed and refers to as 'one of her treasures'

* A real-life example: in ''A Grand Day Out'', Wallace only says "Wensleydale" because Nick Park wanted Wallace to say something that made him look toothy. Unbeknownst to him, at the time of production, the Wensleydale cheese factory was on its last legs and close to bankruptcy, so its mere mention in the short was enough to save the business.

* The start of the short is Wallace trying to celebrate Gromit's birthday, getting a card for him and some presents. While Gromit really doesn't appreciate the collar and leash, and everyone comes to regret the creation of the Techno Trousers, they were gifts that Wallace still put time, effort, and more money than he could afford into.
