A massive six-and-a-half foot replica of Wallace & Gromit’s iconic ‘Techno Trousers’ has been unveiled.
The trousers, which appeared in 1993’s Wallace & Gromit film ‘The Wrong Trouers’ have taken centre stage at the reopening of the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford, West Yorks.
The model, can be seen walking on the museum’s wall just as it did on a museum in the original film where it was used to steal a diamond.
Piloting the model is evil mastermind penguin Feathers McGraw, who returned in the recent Wallace & Gromit film, Vengeance Most Fowl, which aired on BBC One on Christmas Day.
The model was created by Wallace & Gromit makers Aardman, and the museum will be screening free showings of the duo’s films in its cinema.
The museum has previously featured Aardman’s pioneering work, including their first creation, Morph, and props from classic Wallace & Gromit films, in both temporary exhibitions and permanent displays.
Ngaio Harding-Hill, head of attractions at Aardman, said: “We are delighted to build on Aardman’s longstanding relationship with the National Science and Media Museum with these infamous trousers and our favourite penguin mastermind forming part of their grand reopening and exciting future in such an impactful way for visitors to enjoy, at a time where Wallace & Gromit themselves are also making such a grand comeback!”
