Wallace and Gromit's 20th birthday present from Google

Google, it seems, loves Wallace and Gromit as much as the rest of the world. Today marks the twentieth birthday of the first public airing of the plasticine duo and Google UK has honoured their achievement with a homepage illustration. Nick Park unveiled Wallace and Gromit to an unsuspecting public on this day in 1989 at an animation festival. Their public debut was the 22-minute romp A Grand Day Out, later broadcast by the BBC - and so a UK institution was born.
