Wallace saves Wensleydale
I found the following snippet on Wikipedia, in the article about the Wensleydale cheese:
Wallace and Gromit In the 1990s, sales had fallen so low that production was at risk of being suspended. However, the popular Wallace and Gromit animated shorts A Grand Day Out and A Close Shave had the main character Wallace mention Wensleydale as a particularly favourite cheese. Animator Nick Park chose it solely because it had a good name that would be interesting to animate, unaware of the company's financial difficulties. The company contacted Aardman Animations about a licence for a special brand of "Wallace and Gromit Wensleydale", which proved to be an enormous success. When the 2005 full-length Wallace and Gromit film, Curse of the Were-Rabbit, was released, sales of Wensleydale cheeses jumped by 23%. It's a funny world really :) here's the full article. |
Naturally, we had to get some while we were working on this game. It's good cheese, I'm glad Wallace & Gromit saved it!
|
lol, thats hilarious. Got to buy me some of that W&G cheese...
|
it's some intense stuff
|
I saw that on a featurette of the Curse of the Were-Rabbit DVD I rented just for this occasion :D
|
based on the looks of the cheese, it's easy to believe it's got some decent character ;)
next time I'm in the UK, I'll definitely try it! |
I'm not a cheese man, but I'd love to try wensleydale.
