Wallace & Gromit Audiobook (1996) - Narrated by Peter Sallis

[@BrandonKohout]

So long, Peter Sallis. You’ll always be Wallace in our hearts.

[@jswatch9270]

He always will be

[@thaitemple1807]

We will miss him sadly. His role as Wallace will not be forgotten.

An audiobook of Wallace & Gromit, narrated by the late Peter Sallis in character? What a treasure! 🤩

[@Jurassicparkatmospheres]

Such an iconic sound

[@spinballpac-man]

This is amazing! It honestly feels like Wallace himself is telling me a story half way through a conversation with him. That’s how I hear it anyway. 😁 Also, I love how Wallace knows everything that happened on Gromit’s side of things! Like, how on Earth did Gromit tell him about it? Through notepads??! 😂😂😂

I love the unique music cues heard here. They sound like unused music from A Grand Day Out.

[@rileyalt1251]

*I can tell that Peter was quite new to Wallace and had only voiced him a handful of times at this point, I hear his accent poke through every now and then, but I think that adds a certain charm to it.*

[@PaperbackWriter92]

His real accent, right? I've never heard Peter's real accent before, only the Wallace accent from watching the shorts on VHS as a kid so I'm having trouble telling the difference. But yes, this audio is a gem that I never knew existed since W & G is British and I assume the cassette was only available in the UK. I've never seen a copy of it in US before.

[@AntonMonster]

I’m in love with this 😊 English is my second language, and it sounds lovely from native speakers

[@dylanmcfarland8356]

Whoever got Peter Sallis to narrate the Wallace And Gromit adventures as Wallace himself recounting the adventures AND adding the music from the featurettes in the style of A Grand Day Out did a cracking job. Well done, my fine lad. And by my fine lad I mean Chris Allen, who adapted the stories for cassette.

[@Tabascofanatikerin]

As soon as it was recommended to me by KZbin, I realized that I need that right now in these troubled times ❤🧀

I can't sleep without listening to audio books and now my children enjoy going to sleep listing to them too. Now we can snuggle together and listen to this!

[@G4m30v]

If anyone hasn't noticed, they omitted the moment in The Wrong Trousers where Gromit ended up going through the breakfast process and got a faceful of jam!

[@robbiewalker2831]

That’s because Wallace wasn’t around to see that happen, since he was asleep… either that, or Gromit wanted his master to leave out that part from embarrassment.

[@G4m30v]

@robbiewalker2831 Well, it was an accidental side effect of Feathers McGraw slamming the bedroom door shut after he marched the sleeping Wallace out...

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@G4m30v I realize that Wallace did bring up great detail of what Gromit had to deal with in A Close Shave, so it’s definitely omitted by Gromit’s request.

[@Steamteamrailworks88]

28:18 Also, they omitted the part where Feathers McGraw played three songs loudly on the radio in which all three songs were basically played to “make fun of Gromit” as he is a dog. Also they omitted the part where Gromit was weeping from the resulting insult in his kennel outside.

[@WarmBreezeStudios]

Peter Sallis did a good job on recording this audiobook and doing the voice of Wallace, didn't he?

[@TheRulerOfOats]

8:09 Interesting they have Wallace say "Lock the doors" here. Up until this point in the tape, the direct quotes from the film being recited have been pretty much one-to-one, so I have to wonder if when the script was written for this audiobook that whoever wrote the script misheard the film's original line "allotment doors" (referring to the doors forming the floor of the allotment in Wallace's backyard) as "lock the doors" (despite there being only one door to the rocket which is locked by-hand). Perhaps ironically I'M the one who has it backwards? I've never read the script for the original film after all.
