5[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvl2qhx.jpg]]
6-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/PeterSallis (1989-2010); Ben Whitehead (2009; 2011-present)
7* AbsentMindedProfessor: He's an inventor who's as eccentric as he is brilliant.
8* AllLoveIsUnrequited: When it turns out Wendolene is allergic to cheese, they go their seperate ways. In ''Grand Adventures'', he shows no romantic feelings for Felicity Flitt even when she starts developing interest in him in Episode 3, and he's rather shocked when he [[AccidentalProposal accidentally proposed to her]] and spends much of Episode 4 trying to undo this. He's shown to be quite relieved when Flitt gets back with [=Duncan McBiscuit=] in the end.
9* AntiHero: [[spoiler:As the Were-Rabbit. His most antagonistic traits are driven by primal instincts from his rabbit form, but will use brute force to protect innocents such as against Victor.]]
10* BrilliantButLazy: Wallace is indeed a great inventor, but many of his inventions are usually designed to make everyday tasks easier for him.
11* BunglingInventor: Most of his inventions backfire on him.
12* BunnyEarsLawyer: Being eccentric and accident-prone notwithstanding, he is a pretty good inventor and provides some decent services with his products.
13* ButtMonkey: Frequently gets hurt by his own inventions.
14* CharacterCatchPhrase:
15** "[=CheeeeEEEEeeeeeeeese=]!" (with Wallace's trademark excited hands).
16** Also, once things inevitably fall apart, Wallace's "GROMIT! HELP! DO SOMETHING!," or the less emphatic "Gromit! Do something, lad!" There's no ceiling on how many times Wallace will say this in a single episode.
17** "Everything's under control!" Usually when things ''aren't'' under control.
18** [[OhCrap "Oh, 'eck!"]] for when things ''really'' go wrong.
19* CharacterTic: When he gets excited, he waves his hands in front of himself, palms outward and fingers half-curled.
20%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
21* ComplexityAddiction: He'll never do anything in one step if he can do it in (at least) a dozen.
22** In the EpicLaunchSequence in ''WesternAnimation/ACloseShave'', it takes an intricate series of steps for him to get dressed for work and on his motorcycle and sidecar while Gromit simply walks through the door to the garage. ''WesternAnimation/AMatterOfLoafAndDeath'' features a similar sequence, with Wallace sliding down the same chutes the flour goes down to get to their delivery can, while Gromit just drives his forklift to get to the garage.
23** It's taken to new extremes in the ''Cracking Contraptions'' short "The Tellyscope", where he invents a miniature catapult to change the channels on the TV without getting up... despite having a remote. When Gromit tries to point this out, Wallace proceeds to ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint use it as ammo for the catapult.]]''
24%%* {{Deuteragonist}}:
25* DitzyGenius: He's undeniably smart, but he lacks common sense.
26* DidNotGetTheGirl: Despite ShipTease with three female characters in three different stories, Wallace has never gotten together with anyone.
27* DidntThinkThisThrough: His enthusiasm for whatever he's inventing at the moment often causes him to overlook some critical design flaw, which results in said inventions going haywire. Some of the more defining examples include:
28** The Turbo Diner, a machine for clearing and setting the dinner table. Which would be fine if it wasn't a power-guzzler that ran off the same electricity as the rest of the house, not to mention strapping dinner guests to their chairs. Thus, when the power inevitably runs out, the guests are trapped in their seats with no way to put more money in the meter.
29** The 525 Crackervac, an automated vacuum cleaner. Wallace programmed it to tidy up dropped crackers... but it doesn't distinguish between those and crackers that are still in the packet. The result is a hostile cracker-gobbling machine that Gromit needs to hogtie, cowboy-style, to get under control.
30* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: As the Were-Rabbit]].
31* DoesNotLikeSpam:
32** Wallace loves many types of cheese (such as Wensleydale and Stinking Bishop)... except American Cheese.
33** ''Curse of the Were-Rabbit'' also showed him to not be fond of vegetables. Following the accident with the Mind Manipulation-O-Matic, however, he starts to show a fondness for them. [[spoiler: It's a major clue that he's actually the Were-Rabbit.]]
34* {{Flanderization}}: Wallace was only mildly absent minded in ''A Grand Day Out'', with his over-dependency on Gromit not as established (in some cases Gromit even made ''him'' do the busy work). Also while he does construct a rocket in his usual eccentric way, his outright affinity for inventing is not quite evident yet. His love for ''cheese'' on the other hand is extreme from the get-go.
35* FriendToAllLivingThings: Downplayed, but it's there. Wallace is friendly and accommodating to all manner of animals, whether they be dogs, sheep or rabbits. The animals in turn are fond of him too.
36* GadgeteerGenius: Zigzagged. Wallace is without a doubt a brilliant mind and has plenty of contraptions to prove it. However, there have been instances where some of his designs have come out imperfect.
37* {{Greed}}: A rare heroic (and highly downplayed) example. Financial gain is often at the root of Wallace's various inventions and business ventures - most often to pay the bills, as seen in ''The Wrong Trousers'' and ''Fright of the Bumblebees''. ''Muzzled!'', however, implies that he'd be quite happy to become rich off of his inventions, as he jumps at Monty Muzzle's offer to assist in franchising his Infiniflavour ice cream machine.
38* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: According to ''Curse Of the Were-Rabbit'', he had a full head of long hair when Gromit was a puppy. He lost it by the time Gromit finished college.
39* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Gromit - they're hardly ever seen apart and always have each others' backs.
40* IdenticalGrandson: To Witlace in ''Grand Adventures''.
41* ItsAllAboutMe: A minor version of this trope. A reoccurring theme in the ''Wallace & Gromit'' shorts, and the movie, is that Wallace is often so wrapped up in his inventing that he [[InnocentlyInsensitive doesn't notice how his actions upset (or outright harm) Gromit]]. Wallace doesn't actually mean any harm by it, he's just too clueless to realize.
42* JerkassBall: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Wallace can be stubborn or selfish on occasion, [[InnocentlyInsensitive but it's all inadvertent and unintentional]].
43* KavorkaMan: Despite being a very childish man with a homely design and no sense of style whatsoever, Wallace has had a surprising number of girlfriends, to the point that him picking up a new love interest is [[GirlOfTheWeek something of a standard plot]].
44* LazyBum: In "Shopper 13", Wallace builds an automated trolley to do his groceries for him. However, when the trolley drops the edam cheese in the front yard, instead of just going out and get it, Wallace has Shaun and then, Gromit to do it. Shaun just eats the cheese while Gromit refuses to, as if thinking "Get it yourself".
45* LimitedWardrobe: He usually wears a white shirt, brown wool trousers, a green knitted pullover, and a red tie.
46* LoveAtFirstSight: He has this for almost every LoveInterest he's ever had.
47* MadScientist: A heroic example. Wallace's inventions range from malfunctioning Rube Goldberg-esque devices to clever and groundbreaking gadgets — which also have a tendency to malfunction. Notably, he seems more competent in the feature film than in most of the shorts.
48* {{Manchild}}: He is rather giddy and socially inept, shows disgust towards vegetables, plays with his inventions like toys, and fails to take most things seriously.
49* MeaningfulName: Wallace can be diminutised as "Wally", a slang term for a naïve or foolish person. Fittingly, his implied ancestor Witlace sounds a lot like "Witless", which can also describe a foolish person.
50* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: A window-cleaner in ''A Close Shave'', and a baker in ''A Matter of Loaf and Death''. In ''Curse Of the Were-Rabbit'', a humane pest-control business. In the ''Grand Adventures'' games, a beekeeper, runner of an indoor holiday resort, ice-cream vendor and detective. Potentially averted in the first two shorts, in which we have little clue about what Wallace's job is (if he has one); all we know is that his job lets him have the bank holiday off, and that he doesn't earn enough to cover his bills.
51* NiceGuy: Perhaps the friendliest and most mild-mannered version of the MadScientist trope out there!
52* NoFullNameGiven: We know his first name is Wallace, but that's about it. ''The Bogeyman'' implies he's descended from Goodman Witlace - while it's never touched upon, this, if true, would make his full name "Wallace Witlace".
53* NonActionGuy: Compared to Gromit, who usually has to be the one to pull Wallace out of a tight spot.
54* OhCrap: Has this reaction a lot, especially when his inventions go haywire. Most notably [[spoiler: when he realizes he's the Were-Rabbit.]]
55** In the first short, it's when he realizes [[SeriousBusiness he forgot to bring crackers]].
56* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: [[spoiler: When he turns into the Were-Rabbit.]]
57* PotteryBarnPoor: ''The Wrong Trousers'' and ''Fright of the Bumblebees'' both see Wallace fretting about his bills, yet he always seems to be able to afford the materials to build his inventions, as well as completely remodel his house for whatever his latest business venture is. Seemingly averted in ''Curse of the Were-Rabbit'' and ''A Matter of Loaf and Death'', where Wallace's businesses seem to be doing very well.
58* PungeonMaster: Makes puns frequently.
59* RubeGoldbergDevice: Due to his ComplexityAddiction (see above), Wallace's inventions often turn out this way, taking multiple steps to complete what would otherwise be a simple process.
60* ScienceHero: More often than not turns to science for any given problem.
61* ShipperOnDeck: Wallace is quite supportive of Gromit and Fluffles getting together.
62-->'''Wallace:''' Always room for a small one!
63* TooDumbToLive: More and more after each short, though he did find out [[spoiler: Piella was a serial killer]] when Gromit shows him the bomb in ''A Matter of Loaf of Death''.
64* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cheese, particularly Wensleydale, is Wallace's favourite, which he always has with crackers. Toast is also a recurring favourite, as seen in ''A Grand Day Out'', ''The Wrong Trousers'', ''A Matter of Loaf and Death'' and ''Fright of the Bumblebees''.
65* UndyingLoyalty: After Gromit is framed for sheep rustling and awaiting life imprisonment, Wallace wastes little time concocting a breakout. He also tries to save Gromit when he gets captured by Monty Muzzle.

69[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5a70dbeb08e87303a63acda23ca45fa8.jpg]]
70* AcePilot: As seen in ''A Close Shave'' and ''The Curse of The Were-Rabbit'' in a ShoutOut to [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy]].
71* ActionPet: He could technically be considered Wallace's pet and does a lot more traditionally heroic things than his master.
72* BadassAdorable: He isn't just a loyal dog, he's so fiercely loyal that it'll take a lot to take him down. He's also quite cute, as can be seen in his interactions with Fluffles in "A Matter of Loaf and Death".
73* BeleagueredAssistant: He tends to wind up on the wrong end of some of the things Wallace instigates.
74* BigOlUnibrow: Gromit never speaks, so this is the only way you know what he's feeling. It's really incredible, the emotion you can wring out of an artfully-squashed bit of plasticine...
75* {{Bookworm}}: He seems to have a significant interest in encyclopaedic, classical and philosophical literature. In addition to ''Electronics for Dogs'', his bookshelves feature titles such as ''Kites'', ''Sticks'', ''Sheep'', ''Penguins'', ''Rockets'', ''Bones'', and ''Stars'', while he is seen reading ''Literature/TheRepublic'' and ''Literature/CrimeAndPunishment''.
76* ButtMonkey: Misfortunes happen to Gromit a lot, especially in "The Wrong Trousers".
77* CanineCompanion: To Wallace, although he's the brains of the operation.
78* CharacterisationMarchesOn: In ''A Grand Day Out'', Gromit is still the OnlySaneMan, but comes off a bit more fallible. He fails spectacularly at drilling and even shirks a couple odd jobs that usually Wallace would make ''him'' do, such as landing the rocket and lighting the fuse for the return home, even making an uncharacteristically dopey "Whoops" expression when Wallace chastises him over the latter. He's clearly the more sensible of the two by ''The Wrong Trousers'' but even there the plot is arguably padded extensively by Gromit, [[JustEatGilligan rather than rescuing Wallace]], choosing to quietly spy on Feathers and fathom his PaperThinDisguise for the whole second act.
79* CivilizedAnimal: He's usually depicted as walking upright, and is capable of creating and operating complex machinery. Generally, he's shown to be ''significantly'' more shrewd and sensible than his master. However, despite all of this, everyone treats him the same as you treat ''any'' dog. He has both a room in the house and a kennel in the yard, and walks on two or four legs as the plot requires. He's also been shown to eat from a dog dish or at a human table on different occasions.
80** The Aardman book "Creating 3-D Animation" revealed that Gromit actually has two different armatures to make this work--one for when he's walking on fours, and another for when he's bipedal.
81* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: He spends a lot of time rescuing Wallace from his own predicaments.
82* DeadpanSnarker: While Gromit is usually a SilentSnarker, the duo's mutual diary - published as the Cheese Lover's Yearbook - has little typewritten notes expressing Gromit's reaction to whatever is happening. After the entries for "A Close Shave":
83-->'''Wallace:''' Relieved to have come out of this in one piece.\
84'''Gromit:''' Instead of several hundred, like Preston. - G
85* DeathGlare: Can bust out a remarkably mean scowl whenever the situation calls for it. It can most often be seen in ''The Wrong Trousers'' whenever he's in the vicinity of Feathers [=McGraw=].
86* TheEngineer: Often has to build and use the inventions that Wallace dreams up.
87* EvenTheDogIsAshamed: This is his constant reaction to Wallace's antics, usually either a FacePalm or a DisapprovingLook.
88* EvilDetectingDog: He's quick to notice that something's not right with Feathers [=McGraw=], Preston and Piella Bakewell.
89* ExpressiveEars: His second most-expressive feature.
90* FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: ZigZagged. Gromit tends to alternate between walking on his hind legs, and walking on all fours.
91* HeroicDog: Loyal, brave and determined, he usually ends up saving the day.
92* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Wallace - they're hardly ever seen apart and always have each others' backs.
93* HypercompetentSidekick: He is Wallace's assistant and is responsible for at least some of the daily work of running the household, helping with Wallace's inventions, and pulling Wallace's fat out of the fire. In ''Project Zoo'', he's even the main playable character. It also plays into his ButtMonkey role, as nearly every villain is savvy to him being this to Wallace and immediately seeks to take him out of the picture as first priority.
94* IdenticalGrandson: To Gimlet in ''Grand Adventures''.
95* IntellectualAnimal: He's much smarter than his bungling owner, having graduated from "Dogwarts University" with a double first in Engineering for Dogs.
96* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: He's a very sensitive individual who isn't afraid to cry when things really get bad, and has a love for knitting.
97* TheJeeves: He acts as Wallace's valet, ready to do his master's bidding at the touch of a button: "Slippers, Breakfast, Newspaper, Walkies." Like every good Jeeves, though, his real job is to keep his CloudCuckoolander boss out of harm's way. Also Jeeves-like are his highly expressive eyebrows.
98* MeaningfulName: A grommet is a rubber ring used to seal the edge of a hole, to stop it chafing the insulation of wires passed through the hole.
99* MuggingTheMonster: Often the recipient. Nearly every villain sees Gromit as a mere scapegoat or hypotenuse to their big scheme and tries to frame him or otherwise drive him out of the way as their first course of action, often in a very KickTheDog manner. Gromit is pretty much always the main reason their plans are foiled, often supplying them a humiliating comeuppance on top as payback for everything they put him through.
100* NiceGuy: While snarky, he's still good-hearted and eternally loyal as well as protective towards Wallace. He also helps and protects other random animals that he comes across.
101* NoMouth: Most likely the reason why he's TheSpeechless.
102* PlayerCharacter: ''Project Zoo'''s.
103* OnlySaneMan: Unlike Wallace, Gromit is fully aware of the situation at hand and has to take it upon himself to come out on top.
104* SilentPartner: He is Wallace's fellow worker and never speaks.
105* SilentSnarker: The TropeCodifier. Being wordless doesn't mean he can't convey sarcasm.
106* SmartAnimalAverageHuman: Wallace is a BunglingInventor whose inventions often go awry, and it's up to his dog with common sense, Gromit, to clean up the mess. A poster for ''WesternAnimation/TheCurseOfTheWereRabbit'' probably sums it up best; it has Wallace with the caption "master", while Gromit has the caption "mind".
107* SpeechImpairedAnimal: He's completely mute, but his non-verbal expressiveness qualifies him for this trope.
108* TheSpeechless: He never speaks, save for the occasional yelp. But that's not to say he's inexpressive.
109* StraightMan: He's much more grounded and sensible than Wallace.
110* UndyingLoyalty: Gromit is fiercely loyal to his master, even upon the discovery of [[spoiler:Wallace being the Were-Rabbit]].
111--> '''Victor Quartermaine:''' Your loyalty is moving; sadly, you won't be.
112* TheVoiceless: Aside from the occasional yelp of surprise, Gromit almost ''never'' speaks.

115!Film Characters
116!!A Grand Day Out
117[[folder: The Cooker]]
118[[quoteright:500:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2023_10_05_at_08_54_10_cooker_wavingwebp_webp_image_500_412_pixels.png]]
119 [[caption-width-right:500:]]
120A mysterious machine resembling a 1940s coin-operated cooking range which lives on the moon and stops visitors from littering. Deep down, it really wants to go to Earth so that it can become a skier. After Wallace and Gromit arrive on the moon, it first attempts to crash their picnic, but after realizing they came from Earth in a rocket attempts to hitch a ride back with them. Unfortunately, its [[TheSpeechless inability to communicate]] means Wallace thinks that it's trying to kill him and Gromit and they take off without him. Luckily, the end to its story isn't all bad, as it manages to construct skis out of scrap metal from Wallace's rocket and now goes skiing among the moon's cheese dunes.
121----
122* AllCrimesAreEqual: It attempts to knock Wallace out with a truncheon for the misdemeanor of eating some moon cheese and leaving some picnic essentials lying around.
123* BagOfHolding: Based on the rummaging noises it makes when searching through its oven compartment, there's a ''lot'' more stuff in there then there has any right to be.
124* ADogNamedDog: It resembles an old-timey gas cooker, which is the name it's been given in most media since.
125* HiddenDepths: Unbeknownst to Wallace, who sees it as a KillerRobot, the Cooker just wants to become a skier based on a skiing magazine it keeps in its oven compartment and has read many times over.
126* InsertPaymentToUse: It only activates if a 10p coin is inserted into it, and even then after a few minutes it will freeze up unless more money is put into it.
127* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: It seems to view itself as a police officer, keeping the moon safe and clean from what it perceives as vandalism and littering. Towards the end, its goal becomes to reach Earth and become an alpine skier.
128* RiddleForTheAges: Very little about it (who built it, how it got to the moon, why it has the purpose and functions it does) is explained.
129* TheSpeechless: It doesn't have a face, and thus has no dialogue whatsoever. It can't even properly communicate with Wallace when it tries to get Wallace and Gromit to take it back to Earth with them, and as a result the duo assume it is trying to hunt them down and confiscate the cheese they collected.
130* TheSpook: It's the only ''Wallace and Gromit'' villain who doesn't have any direct ties to the plot, only getting involved by accident with no explanations as to its origins. And on top of that, it's [[NotEvilJustMisunderstood not even a villain]].
131* TinCanRobot: Wallace understandably mistakes it for some kind of gas cooker when he first encounters it.
132* WeaksauceWeakness: For some reason, it's a coin-operated machine, and can only keep moving for brief periods while it has money. The only reason it's a threat to Wallace and Gromit at all is that Wallace stuck a 10p coin in its slot. Twice.

135!!''The Wrong Trousers''
136[[folder:Feathers [=McGraw=]]]
137[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/feathers_mcgraw.jpg]]
138* AssInALionSkin: [[spoiler: HAVE YOU SEEN THIS [[PaperThinDisguise "CHICKEN"]]?]]
139* BigBad: [[spoiler: Of ''The Wrong Trousers'' and ''Project Zoo''.]]
140* CivilizedAnimal: Acts like this being Wallace's new tenant, but in reality's he's just cooking up a robbery scheme.
141* EvilIsPetty: Gets on Gromit's bad side and drives a wedge between him and Wallace all because he wanted him out of the way.
142* EvilCounterpart: To Gromit. Both of them are [[IntellectualAnimal Intellectual Animals]] who [[TheSpeechless never say a word]]. However, Gromit is unshakably loyal to Wallace, while Feathers [[spoiler: only befriends Wallace as a means of getting rid of Gromit and using Wallace as a means of stealing a priceless diamond.]]
143* EvilGenius: Not only is he very manipulative and cunning, but he is skilled in engineering as he tampers with the robot trousers, too.
144* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: His immediate action after catching sight of Gromit is to drive him out of the house, knowing he is [[HyperCompetentSidekick smart enough to be a threat to his dupe on Wallace]].
145* FauxAffablyEvil: He is very polite towards Wallace and gives him an extra hand. But he only does this to gain his confidence and eventually use him in his heist plan.
146* IntellectualAnimal: [[spoiler:Besides modifying the controls of the Techno Trousers, he created his own wide variety of complex inventions as seen in ''Project Zoo''.]]
147* KnightOfCerebus: The story of "the Wrong Trousers" get severely darker after his introduction with him driving a wedge between Wallace and Gromit, pushing Gromit to leave, and his cold and no-nonsense criminal behavior. He also opened the way for other dark and serious antagonists such as Preston or Piella.
148* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:What better place to put a criminal penguin than the Zoo?]]
149* ManipulativeBastard: He gains Wallace's confidence, drives Gromit out of the house and then uses Wallace as a pawn in his robbery scheme.
150* NoNonsenseNemesis: When Wallace or Gromit get in his way he justs pull his gun either to intimidate them into locking themselves into the closet or shoot at them.
151* NotSoStoic: Despite his lack of facial expressions, he's not immune to stress as seen during his heist at the museum, where he's seen sweating profusely when things get more difficult that he planned such as when his teleguided claw misses the diamond or when it fell of it or when the ceiling malfunction causes Wallace to slip and activates the alarm. Despite this he still manages to keep his nerves enough to regain control of the situation and of escaping with the diamond.
152* PaperThinDisguise: His disguise as a chicken is just a rubber glove atop of his head. Strangely, it works.
153* SilentAntagonist: He never says a word and is the main villain of ''The Wrong Trousers'' and ''Project Zoo''.
154* TheSpeechless: As is true of most animal characters in the series, Feathers cannot speak, and unlike those other examples, he doesn't even make any sounds that are typical of his species.
155* TheStoic: His lack of facial expressions is quite unnerving. If it wasn't for the sinister music playing whenever he's scheming, you'd think he was just a random anthropomorphic penguin.
156* VillainousBreakdown: After Gromit foils his escape through the dog hole by diverting the train, Feathers [=McGraw=] starts rapidly firing at Gromit and Wallace, making it clear that he's ''not'' pleased with their interference. When he gets sent to the zoo, he angrily tugs at the bars before sobbing.
157* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: In ''Project Zoo'', he threatens the lives of baby zoo animals in order to force their parents into working for him.]]

160!!''A Close Shave''
161[[folder:Wendolene Ramsbottom]]
162[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/close_shave_disneyscreencapscom_1604.jpg]]
163-> '''Voiced by:''' Anne Reid
164
165* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:In the comic ''The Curse of the Ramsbottoms'', she's aware of her fiancé Rhett's activities, and when she catches Wallace and Gromit snooping around Rhett's secret study, she throws them out of her house. To add insult to injury, she announces that after she marries Rhett, she and him will run a beauty company that will run Wallace's favorite cheese company out of business for life. This is Wendolene's only role where she acts as a mean-spirited {{jerkass}}.]]
166* GirlOfTheWeek : She's Wallace's love interest for the short.
167* GuiltRiddenAccomplice: She goes along with Preston's plot, but doesn't like the lengths to which he carries it.
168* ShipSinking: While she and Wallace certainly have plenty of ShipTease, they ultimately can't be together due to her being allergic to cheese.
169[[/folder]]
170
171[[folder:Preston the Bulldog (Unmarked Spoilers)]]
172[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/preston_9.png]]
173* AIIsACrapshoot: Preston was meant to be a good robot dog that according to Wendolene suddenly became evil due to his malfunction.
174* BigBad: Of ''A Close Shave'', who warped the sheep-rustling scheme Wendolene was running just to steal wool into also slaughtering them for his dog food business.
175* {{Expy}}: Of the [[Film/TheTerminator first]] T-800, bearing a similar gruff stoic yet scowling disposition with his metallic skeleton being revealed in the finale and needing heavy machinery to put a stop to him.
176* {{Greed}}: His main goal is to start his own dog food franchise to enrich himself, not being content of selling wool with Wendolene.
177* HeelFaceTurn: At the end, where he's back to normal after being rebuilt.
178* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He's ultimately defeated by being tossed into his own Mutton-o-Matic machine and his parts are packed into cans of his dog food.
179* KnightOfCerebus: Whenever Preston is on-screen, the tone of the film gets considerably darker.
180* KubrickStare: Gives one along with a PsychoticSmirk while chasing Wallace and Gromit after ramming the back of their motorcycle.
181* RobotDog: The climax of the reveals him to be a robot.
182* RoboticReveal: He turns out to be a RobotDog.
183* SuperStrength: Is incredibly strong due to his nature as a robotic dog, easily overpowering all of the other characters, snapping a shepherd's crook in half with his bare hands, stopping Gromit's plane by ''grabbing the spinning propellor'' and punching through the metal walls of the knitting machine after he's imprisoned in it.
184* TerminatorImpersonator: He's got a penchant for studded leather, is solidly built and his only facial expression is an unfeeling scowl. Then he has his skin shorn away and is defeated by being compacted. [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay For added measure, he's later reprogrammed to be obedient.]]
185* TheUnfettered: Preston, already TheStoic to a creepy level, is completely cold-blooded about rustling and mincing sheep, framing an innocent dog for it, and even throwing his guilt ridden owner into the mincer to keep her quiet, all for the sake of his own dog food franchise. Justified as Preston is a malfunctioning robot whose only focus is to make profit to pay off his late owner's debts.
186* VillainousBreakdown: In the climax, [[LiteralMinded literally]]. After being foiled by Gromit, and tossed into his own machine to get a close shave, he gets so darn pissed off that he malfunctions, bangs against the walls until he breaks out, and he growls and roars more often.
187* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about him without spoiling that he's a robot.

190[[folder:Shaun the Sheep]]
191[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b50d0b44a897147fbd4be8f47d52764a.jpg]]
192
193* AdaptationPersonalityChange: A perpetually eating GeniusDitz in the ''WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit'' series. An anthropomorphized LoveableRogue in his own series.
194* AnthropomorphicShift: While having some moments of brilliance, Shaun was more a standard destructive animal in ''A Close Shave''. When branched out into his own show, Shaun evolved into a level of human-like intelligence almost on par with Gromit, was granted a more expressive personality and became far more liable to walk on his hind legs.
195* BreakoutCharacter: Was a hit in the merchandise front of the franchise, ultimately leading him to get [[WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep his own series.]]
196* TheCameo: Made one more ''Wallace and Gromit'' appearance in the "Shopper 13" instalment of ''Cracking Contraptions'' before emigrating to his own show.
197* ExtremeOmniGoat: He's [[TropesAreFlexible a sheep]] but otherwise fits the trope.
198* IntellectualAnimal: A mild case in ''WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit'', a full on example in his own series.
199* LoveableRogue: In his own series.
200* PunnyName: Shaun rhymes with "shorn" (as in "sheared") in non-rhotic varieties of English.
201* SilentSnarker: Like Gromit, he has his moments of conveying sarcasm.
202* TheSpeechless: Although he does bleat quite frequently.

205!!''The Curse of the Were-Rabbit''
206[[folder:Lady Campanula Tottington]]
207[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/helena_bonham_carter_tottington.jpg]]
208-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter
209* TheBusCameBack: She made an unexpected appearance in 2019 in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naGQrNetxQQ 'The Great Sofa Caper']], an ad for DFS (a UK-based furniture retailer), still voiced by Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter. She even got some more ShipTease with Wallace when he gave her a foot massage.
210* FriendToAllLivingThings: She is rarely unfriendly to anyone or anything. She's the only member of the town who's saddened by the supposed "death" of the Were-rabbit, and strongly disapproves of Victor Quartermaine's love of hunting.
211* NiceGirl: She's very friendly and hates for anything to be harmed, which attracts her to Wallace's humane pest control service and puts her at odds with Victor.
212* PunnyName:
213** "Tottie" is UK slang for an attractive young woman.
214** Even more subtly, "Campanula" is the Latin name for the harebell. [[OverlyLongGag Just in case there weren't enough bunny puns in this movie]].
215* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Tottington has a secret crush on Wallace, who can be considered the most mild-mannered, respectable person there is.
216* SpoiledSweet: Lady Tottington comes from an extremely old and wealthy family (she mentions that the Tottingtons have hosted their annual giant vegetable competition for 500 years), but money hasn't affected her in the slightest: she's kind, generous, and friendly to everyone she meets.
217* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: When the duo remove the rabbits from her property, Lady Tottington casually laments how eating vegetables is simply a rabbit's nature and you can't change that. This gives Wallace the idea to try doing exactly that, inadvertently resulting in the Were Rabbit's creation.

220[[folder:Lord Victor Quartermaine]]
221[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quartermaine.jpg]]
222->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RalphFiennes (Film), Creator/KayvanNovak (Video Game)
223->'''Dubbed by:''' Creator/PhilippeCatoire (European French)
224
225* AdaptationalVillainy: While no saint in the movie, he never took his jealousy of Wallace out on anybody ''but'' Wallace. In the video game adaptation, he steals the Mind-Manipulation-O-Matic, uses it to create more were-creatures, and sends them to wreak havoc on the entire town.
226* AdventurerOutfit: He wears a Safari Outfit complete with an ascot.
227* AssholeVictim: He is last seen being chase away be an weapon-loaded angry mob. Given everything he had done, no one will missed him.
228* BaldOfEvil: Victor wears a toupee to cover his baldness and is the main antagonist of the film.
229* BigBad: Of ''The Curse of the Were-Rabbit'', being the romantic rival to Wallace for Lady Tottington and an EgomaniacHunter who wants to [[spoiler:kill Wallace after realizing he's the Were-Rabbit]].
230* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: He's forced to use a flintlock blunderbuss for his improvised gold bullet, and comes within a hair's breadth of [[spoiler:killing Wallace with it]].
231* CaptainErsatz: He's a well-respected EgomaniacHunter who is in a love triangle with the two romantic leads. Essentially, he's the Aardman version of [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]].
232* CardCarryingVillain: Victor doesn't bother trying to hide his negative qualities and the fact that he's only wooing Lady Tottington to steal her fortune. In fact, he outright admits the latter to Wallace when he confronts him in the woods.
233* EgomaniacHunter: He relishes the rabbit problem Lady Tottington has, as it gives him a chance to stretch his hunting skills and hopefully impress her. The Were-Rabbit is just gasoline on his flame.
234* EvilPoacher: He prefers traditional manners in dealing with Pest Control, and is the main antagonist of the film.
235* ExactWords: When preparing to shoot the rabbits infesting Lady Tottington's estate, she tries to remind him about their talks to stop his "thoughtless killing". Victor agrees, then says he thought of ''this'' killing very thoroughly.
236* GoldDigger: Victor's an ImpoverishedPatrician, so he tries to woo Lady Tottington solely for her money.
237* {{Hypocrite}}: He accuses Wallace of trying to woo Lady Tottington for her money - exactly the same thing he himself was doing. Presumably his issue was more rooted in Wallace being a "peasant" and not a nobleman like himself, but the hypocrisy still stands.
238* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Discovering the Were Rabbit is Wallace, who has been gaining Lady Tottington's affections, only makes him even more vehement about blowing its brains out.]]
239* {{Jerkass}}: He's extremely snobby and stuffy, never passes any opportunity to mock Wallace, particularly for his humane pest control methods, [[spoiler:and doesn't hesitate to try and kill the Were-Rabbit when he realises it's actually Wallace.]]
240* KarmicButtMonkey: Nothing ''ever'' goes right for Victor Quartermaine, especially during the climax. Aside from failing to poach the Were-Rabbit, he also gets sprayed in the face with weed killer, knocked into a cotton candy machine, hung from a weathervane by his pants (thus mooning the onlookers) and finally stuffed into a Were-Rabbit suit before getting chased away by an angry mob. Of course, given what a nasty person he is, all this happens after he's done something to deserve it.
241* LargeHam: On top of being arrogant and opinionated, he has an extremely pompous manner of speech.
242* MaliciousMisnaming: He derisively refers to Wallace as "Pesto" (the name of his pest-control company) due to looking down on Wallace's humane methods.
243* MilesGloriosus: A downplayed case. He's willing to beat up the smaller and weaker Wallace, but becomes a snivelling, cowering wreck when [[spoiler: Wallace transforms into the Were-Rabbit right in front of him]]. However, after his discovery, [[spoiler: he becomes even more eager to dispose of Wallace as a romantic rival]].
244* MotiveDecay: Victor initially intends to court and marry Lady Tottington [[GoldDigger in order to get ahold of her fortune]], and he takes it personally when Wallace - whom Tottington forms a far more genuine bond with - inadvertently threatens his plan. When he realizes that Wallace is the Were Rabbit, Victor plots to kill him in order to get him out of the way, but when Tottington discovers the Were Rabbit's identity and tries to defend him, making it abundantly clear that she's choosing Wallace over Victor regardless, Victor decides to kill Wallace anyway just to spite her.
245-->''If I can't have your money,'' '''I can still bag your bunny!'''
246* OnlySaneMan: Despite his hamminess, Victor is by far the most level-headed when it comes to the Were Rabbit situation, and adamantly refuses to buy into the fearful superstitions that the Vicar and the rest of the town believe.
247* PetTheDog: Treats his pet dog Philip well. He averts it however, when it comes to Gromit.
248* SayingTooMuch: Happens when he finally confronts the Were-Rabbit with Lady Tottington in the greenhouse. [[spoiler: When Lady Tottington tries to get him to call off the hunt, Victor tells her that he intends to get rid of "Pesto" as commissioned. Using the derogatory nickname he gave to Wallace tells Tottington that he knew the Were-Rabbit's identity all along.]]
249* SmugSnake: He's a preening, gloating jerk who wouldn't have been a threat to the Were-Rabbit at all if it weren't for the gold bullets.
250* SoreLoser: Seeing Wallace engaging in friendly conversation with Lady Tottington displeases him to say the least. What does he do in response? Create a road block and challenge Wallace to a fist fight.
251* TheRival: He and Wallace are both interested in Lady Tottington, [[GoldDigger although for different reasons]].
252* UncertainDoom: The last we ever see of Quartermaine is him being chased away by an angry mob. It's unclear whether he was chased out of town or worse.
253* VillainousBreakdown: Suffers a mild one of these after he accidentally blurts out the Were-Rabbit's true identity, becoming more and more crazed in his determination to kill the beast. [[spoiler:He knows he won't get anything out of it and that he's scuppered his chances with Lady Tottington, but by this point he no longer cares - he wants Wallace ''dead''.]]

256[[folder:Philip]]
257[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tlchargement_6.jpg]]
258
259* TheDragon: To Victor; as a matter of fact, Gromit has to get rid of him first before saving the Were-Rabbit from [[BigBad Victor]].
260* EvilCounterpart: He's essentially Gromit, but a villain; he's fiercely loyal to his master, plays second banana to him, and has a few human traits on par with those of Gromit.
261* {{Jerkass}}: Aggressive, haughty and determined to help Victor take out the Were-Rabbit. He even shows delight at the prospect of Wallace getting beaten up by Victor, refusing to let Gromit out of the Anti-Pesto van to help him.
262* MilesGloriosus: Downplayed. Like his master, he prefers to target the more weaker Gromit, and becomes a cowering wreck when [[spoiler: Wallace turns into the Were-Rabbit in front of him, Gromit, and Victor]]. He sticks by his master's side nonetheless on their quest to shoot the beast, and even bites what he thinks is the Were-Rabbit's tail when he thinks it ate him.[[note]] It was actually Victor stuffed in a female Were-Rabbit suit by Gromit to drive the angry mob away from the real deal.[[/note]]
263* NotQuiteDead: Twice no less; the first time during their aerial [[{{Pun}} dogfight]], Gromit takes a sharp turn on a building's ledge that leaves Philip's plane crashing to the ground and blowing up... except Philip survives by clinging onto his nemesis' plane and makes one last attack on Gromit. During the end of the fight, Gromit is able to drop him from his plane, though he lands in a bouncy castle and, while it deflates, he still comes out unscathed.
264* RealMenWearPink: He's revealed to own a flower printed coin purse when he and Gromit form a brief truce to restart the coin-operated plane they were fighting on.
265* RightHandAttackDog: Serves as one to Victor; he goes after Gromit, who is closer to his size, mainly to keep him from ruining the hunter's plans.

268[[folder:The Were-Rabbit '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]
269[[quoteright:940:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/were_rabbit.png]]
270* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his noticeable gut, the Were-Rabbit can move surprisingly quickly and jump high.
271* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Wallace has no memory of being the Were-Rabbit, nor does the Were-Rabbit have any memory of being Wallace. That is, until Gromit informs him; by the climax, the Were-Rabbit remembers enough about himself to be able to tell Lady Tottington he's Wallace by doing his signature hand tic.
272* BadassAdorable: He's strong enough to throw ''a tree trunk'' (in fact, the first sign that Wallace is about to turn into him is sudden SuperStrength) and is an incredibly destructive beast, but he's a giant bunny.
273* CuteGiant: He's a giant, fluffy ''rabbit''.
274* DefangedHorrors: He's essentially a kid-friendly version of a slasher movie monster: instead of killing people, he eats vegetables.
275* GentleGiant: While he causes a lot of property damage in his quest for vegetables, the Were-Rabbit never directly attacks the innocent townspeople. This especially becomes the case after Lady Tottington brings out [[NiceGuy Wallace]]'s mind again.
276* HeroicSacrifice: When Gromit's plane takes a golden bullet to save Wallace, the Were-Rabbit returns the favor by using his body to break Gromit's fall when the plane is about to crash. Wallace survives, but the Were-Rabbit does not, permanently reverting Wallace to normal.
277* NonMaliciousMonster: Despite his destructive nature, the Were-Rabbit is ultimately just a giant rabbit who loves vegetables.
278* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Unlike the rabbits seen in this movie made with the series' usual plasticine, the Were-Rabbit has actual fur courtesy of its body being covered in fabric, which makes it stand out a lot more.
279* PrimalChestPound: The Were-Rabbit howls and beats its chest gorilla-style twice over the course of the film. In both instances, many normal bunnies join it.
280* ShapeDiesShifterSurvives: Combined with ThisWasHisTrueForm; after crashing off a tall building to save Gromit, the Were-Rabbit is mortally wounded and reverts to Wallace, still apparently dead. Gromit manages to revive his master with some Stinking Bishop and Wallace never transforms again.
281* SuperpoweredEvilSide: He has SuperStrength and is incredibly fast and somewhat aggressive when Victor angers him. He's also a transformed Wallace.
282* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about him without spoiling that he's a transformed Wallace.

288* AnimalTalk: One of the only ones in the franchise.
289* BadassAdorable
290* ContinuityNod: An odd case in that pretty much ''every single'' line of dialogue spoken by him is a quote taken either from earlier in ''The Curse of the Were-Rabbit'', or from ''The Wrong Trousers'' and ''A Close Shave''.
291* HeliumSpeech: His voice is really Wallace's in higher pitch.
292* MeaningfulName: He's a rabbit who lives in a rabbit hutch after he's captured by the duo.
293* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: He's initially thought to be the titual Were-Rabbit and is locked up, but Gromit's hypothesis to check up on him reveals he's just as kind as Wallace.
294* TalkativeLoon: His lines of dialogue are just quotes that Wallace has said at some point in his life with no bearing on what's going on.
295* UpliftedAnimal: He used to be a normal rabbit before Wallace accidentally transmitted his brainwaves into him, turning Hutch into a mini-Wallace.
296* WalkingSpoiler: His existence is the reason why the Were-Rabbit exists.

301-> '''Voiced by:''' Sally Lindsay
302[[quoteright:284:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/piella_bakewell_5.jpg]]
303
304* AxCrazy: ''OH YES''. Piella takes the cake in being one of the most psychopathic antagonists in the franchise. She's murdered twelve bakers and seeks to make Wallace the final piece of her "baker's dozen."
305* AssholeVictim
306* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: She's routinely cruel to her dog Fluffles, giving her a few not-too-gentle kicks, verbally tearing her down and outright trying to kill her in the climax. She's not particularly nice to Gromit either, trying to trap him in her house so he has to watch Wallace being blown up.
307* BerserkButton: Wallace mentions her "[[DoubleEntendre ballooning]]".
308* BigBeautifulWoman: Despite her clearly having gained some weight, Wallace never considers her to be any less lovely than in her prime. In fact, it's shown that she had ''twelve'' paramours before Wallace.
309* BitchInSheepsClothing: She may act sweet and caring most of the time, but is a ruthless serial killer out for revenge.
310* BlackWidow: Seduces bakers then kills them.
311* BrokenPedestal
312* CharacterCatchphrase: "I'm as light as a feather, I'm the Bake-O-Lite girl", her catchphrase when she was working for Bake-O-Lite.
313* DisproportionateRetribution: She lost her job as the Bake-o-Lite bakery spokeswoman when she became too heavy to use the balloon featured in all their commercials. Because of this, she decides to murder a baker's dozen worth of bakers to punish all bakers for producing the rich foods that she got fat eating.
314* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Being eaten alive by crocodiles at the zoo, after she weighs down the balloon on which she's attempting to escape. Thankfully GoryDiscretionShot is in play.
315* FatBitch: She's very hefty and is also a petty and twisted SerialKiller.
316* FatComicRelief: Though one of the darkest villains in the series, they still manage to make a fair amount of humor concerning her weight problem.
317* FormerlyFit: Used to be a lean and skinny woman. However, her binging in bread made her overweight.
318* HurricaneOfPuns: She makes many, ''incredibly'' unsubtle jokes on how she's going to murder Wallace.
319* IWasQuiteALooker: Before she gained a lot of weight.
320* {{Jerkass}}: Is very cruel towards her dog Fluffles and even frames Gromit for biting when he finds out that she's a SerialKiller.
321* KarmicDeath
322* KickTheDog: She literally kicks her dog Fluffles, although in such a way that it could be interpreted as a hard nudge.
323* NeverMyFault: Considers her weight problems to be the fault of bakers for producing fattening treats rather than herself for eating too many of them.
324* PunnyName: With a name like "Piella Bakewell", it makes one wonder if it's actually a stage name or it was a fated for her to become the (former) bake-o-lite girl.
325* SanitySlippage: Her eyes are twitching and she pulls some horrid faces as she exacts her revenge plan to have a "baker's dozen", but Wallace telling her the balloon won't support her really makes her lose whatever marbles she had left. A KarmicDeath follows.
326* SerialKiller: She was responsible for the deaths of twelve bakers, all for a petty reason, no less.
327* TheSociopath: Her revenge is as petty as they come, she has absolutely zero remorse for her killing spree, and even her pet dog is just a tool that she couldn't care less about.
328* StartOfDarkness: Piella being forced to do all those promotional stunts with bakers and their confections, utterly destroyed her figure. Her treasured career followed soon after. Now she lives only to exact vengeance on all bakers.
329* StoutStrength: She's shown to be strong enough to push back against a forklift.
330* TooDumbToLive: Possibly caused by her VillainousBreakdown, she still thinks that the Bake-O-Lite balloon could carry her away despite her increase weight. This becomes her undoing as unfortunately not only was the balloon being weighed down by her, but it's descending right into a ''crocodile enclosure''.
331* VillainousBreakdown: As more and more interruptions get in the way of Piella completing her baker’s dozen, her veneer of sanity begins to flake away with it. By the end, Piella is reduced to ranting and raving at the duo while attempting to escape on her Bake-O-Lite balloon, and when it inevitably fails to support her weight she falls to her death in complete denial of her detriment.
332* WalkingSpoiler
333* WhiteDwarfStarlet: Wallace recognizes her as the spokeswoman for Bake-O-Lite Bread, but she was fired as the "Bake-O-Lite Girl" when she became too heavy to fly the balloon they used in advertising.
334* WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath: At the end, Wallace sees (or imagines) Piella in her prime flying in the balloon to the heavens. As he put it, she'll always be the Bake-o-Lite Girl to him.

338-> '''Voiced by:''' Melissa Collier
339[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fluffles.png]]
340* BreakTheCutie: Fluffles comes pre-broken, evident from the trembling. Though she eventually overcomes it.
341* BrokenBird: Piella's mad schemes and abuse have reduced her to this at the beginning of the short-film. She gradually gets better.
342* CivilizedAnimal: Fluffles is capable like Gromit, though she's generally shown on all fours for much of the film. Notably, her moments of bipedalism happen either out of the sight of her abusive master, or at the film's end when she finally stands up to her and remains bipedal for the rest of the film.
343* CuteMute: Like Gromit, she never speaks (though she makes more sounds, like whimpering). She's also quite adorable.
344* TheDogBitesBack: Fluffles, the mistreated poodle belonging to the 'Cereal Killer', not only bites back but then proceeds to take the killer on with a fork lift truck.
345* EpiphanyTherapy
346* GuiltRiddenAccomplice: As her time onscreen goes on, it becomes obvious that she doesn't like the role she's forced to play in Piella's scheme.
347* NiceGirl: Fluffles is very timid but kind. Gromit ends up falling in love with her when she returns his possessions (by picking them out of the trash no less) when Piella throws them away.
348* ShrinkingViolet: Implied.
349* SilentPartner: Like Gromit, she doesn't talk at all but her mood is obvious from pantomime. She does giggle when giving Gromit back his discarded possessions.
350* SpeechImpairedAnimal
351* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She is absent from ''VideoGame/WallaceAndGromitsGrandAdventures'', despite being implied to be set after ''A Matter of Loaf and Death''. It remains to be seen if she will appear in future works.

400* ConMan: His modus operandi seems to be setting up a fundraising fair for some cause and then running off with the money that's supposed to go towards the problem before anyone can stop him.
