Bristol, UK wants to put up a statue to the animated inventor and his ever-suffering canine sidekick[*1] :
Matthew Symonds, a local councilor in Bristol where Nick Park and Aardman Animations created the now-famous pair, said it was time to recognize the contribution that Wallace and Gromit have made to the city in southwest England.
“Everyone loves Wallace and Gromit and everyone I’ve spoken to on this matter agrees that we should thank Aardman in some way for what they have done for the city,” said Symonds.
