Since Nick Park released his first Wallace and Gromit short film in 1989, audiences the world over have fallen in love with the now iconic claymation inventor and beagle duo. The films and television series take place in a stop-motion claymation world and revolve around a northern English inventor, Wallace, and his smart and faithful dog, Gromit. Wallace loves cheese and has a ion for inventing complex machines for mundane tasks. Gromit is often the more reasonable one, but as he’s non-verbal he mostly resorts to facial expressions to get his feelings across.

With a new Wallace and Gromit feature film, Netflix), what better time to rewatch all of the Wallace and Gromit movies and TV series in order? Check out the JustWatch guide below to find out where you can stream every Wallace and Gromit title!

Wallace and Gromit short films in order

Between 1989 and 2008, Nick Park created four short films produced by Aardman Animations that introduced the iconic duo and solidified their status as positive cultural ambassadors. In A Grand Day Out, Wallace and Gromit run out of cheese and decide to depart on a rocket to the moon for more — since the moon is made of cheese, of course! 

In The Wrong Tros, Wallace gifts Gromit a pair of self-invented techno-tros for his birthday. Meanwhile, they take on a boarder at the house: a devious penguin called Feathers McGraw, who wants to trick Wallace into helping him steal a diamond. After three decades, Feathers McGraw is set to appear once again in a prominent role in the film Vengeance Most Fowl.

A Close Shave sees Wallace and Gromit go up against a sinister dog, Preston, who is illegally rustling sheep. The short introduces Shaun the Sheep, who went on to have his own spin-off series and films. In the final short, A Matter of Loaf and Death, Wallace and Gromit face off against a serial killer who’s been offing bakers around town.

Wallace and Gromit feature-length films in order

With the success of the shorts, in 2005 Wallace and Gromit got their first feature-length film in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. The film parodies classic monster movies and features the duo as pest control agents attempting to rid the town from a hoard of rabbits, including one giant one, before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition.

In 2024, Wallace and Gromit return with a new feature-length film, Vengeance Most Fowl. The film brings back the villain from The Wrong Tros, Feathers McGaw, and audiences will find out how he is behind a sinister plot involving garden gnomes gone bad.

Wallace and Gromit TV series in order

There are two Wallace and Gromit television series. Cracking Contraptions is a 10-episode miniseries featuring episodes that run 1 to 3 minutes and show Wallace’s various inventions.

World of Invention is a mix of live-action and claymation and features real-life inventions and their creators from around the world, with cuts of Wallace and Gromit sketches to break up the episodes.

  8. Wallace & Gromit's World of Invention

    # 8

    In the series, "Wallace will take a light hearted and humorous look at the real-life inventors, contraptions, gadgets and inventions, with the silent help of Gromit. The series aims to inspire a whole new generation of innovative minds by showing them real, but mind-boggling, machines and inventions from around the world that have influenced his illustrious inventing career" (the BBC press statement). Peter Sallis reprised his role as the voice of Wallace. The filmed inserts are mostly narrated by Ashley Jensen, with one in each episode presented in-vision by Jem Stansfield. John Sparkes also voices a portion in the unseen character of archivist Goronwy.
