The Wrong Trousers

Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers is a 1993 British stop-motion animated short film directed by Nick Park at Aardman Animations, featuring his characters Wallace and Gromit. It is the second film featuring the eccentric inventor Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his dog Gromit, following A Grand Day Out (1989). In the short film, a villainous penguin named Feathers McGraw uses Wallace and Gromit's robot "Techno Trousers" to take a diamond.

It was commercially successful and won the 1993 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. It also inspired a charity fundraising day, known as "Wrong Trousers Day", one of several events. A sequel, A Close Shave, was released in 1995.

Wallace: [to Gromit] I think you'll find this present a valuable addition to our modern lifestyle. [he unwraps the present] They're techno-trousers, ex-NASA. Fantastic for walkies.

Wallace: [of the trapdoor that slid him out of bed onto the kitchen chair in the morning] Well, that went as well as could be expected, didn't it, right? Though I might have to make a small adjustment to the drop. A touch painful on re-entry.

Wallace: Oh, I'm tired. A good doze, that's all I need. Get me strength back. What a--What a shocking calam--calam--calamity--[falls asleep, snoring]

Wallace: [upon falling into the techno-trousers in the morning] It's the wrong trousers. The wrong trousers. What have you done with the controls, Gromit?

Wallace: Woah! It's The Wrong Trousers, Gromit, and they've gone wrong! Stop them, Gromit! Stop them! Help me! Gr-Gromit! The Trousers've gone Haywire! Get me out!!! Help!!!!!

Wallace: Hang in there, Gromit. Everything's under control.
