By Martin Booth  Monday Feb 17, 2025

Wallace, Gromit, Norbot and Feathers were among the stars on the red carpet at the BAFTA Awards in London.

And the trio and their two human companions, Vengeance Most Fowl directors Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham and producer Richard Beek, will be taking home two awards back to Aardman HQ in Bristol.

The latest Wallace and Gromit adventure won the best animated film and the best children’s & family film awards.

The Aardman team were presented with their first award by US singer Camila Cabello at the ceremony in the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall.

Speaking on stage, Park said: “It’s such a wonderful privilege to be working at Aardman every day with such obscenely talented artists and crafts people so passionate about creativity and we’re so lucky to have our fabulous cast.”

Vengeance Most Fowl is nominated for best animated feature at the Academy Awards with the Oscars ceremony taking place in Los Angeles on March 2.

In the summer, Bristol will see the third instalment of the Gromit Unleashed sculpture trail which will feature Norbot for the first time.
