Description

Feathers McGraw was a lodger, renting a room with Wallace when he had financial issues. Not satisfied with the room on offer, McGraw moved into Gromit's room, forcing him to live in a doghouse. McGraw then proceeds to irritate Gromit further by playing music loud late at night, hogging the bathroom, and monopolising Wallace's time. Thinking Wallace has forgotten him, Gromit sadly leaves the house. He makes a cameo appearance in Curse of the Were-Rabbit: After Victor says "eat carrot, bunny boy!," Gromit flies in a toy plane. You can see McGraw randomly sitting on a building to Gromit's left. a photo of Feathers can be seen in Shaun the Sheep: The Movie on Anthony Trumper's office wall, indicating he may have been captured by him. Feathers can be seen in The Curse of The Were-Rabbit after Victor says "eat carrot, bunny boy!", he can be seen standing in a vase on a building at the right of the screen. Prendergast later founded Oh Yeah Wow which has gone on to forge a reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting young animation studios. Now the wheel has turned full circle as the Aardman super-fan has been invited to host a discussion with Aardman founders Peter Lord and David Proxton at ACMI in honour of the new exhibition.

Within the UK and USA the price you see is the price you pay - you won't be charged any extra fees. Feathers appears in the Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Were Rabbit DVD Game as one of the the things that can be displayed on the screen in the minigame "Imagi-Matic". Similarly to Gromit and Preston, Feathers McGraw does not express himself with spoken words. However, while former's facial expressions and body language speak volumes, McGraw's face is always blank and impassive, giving no hint of his emotions.Feathers McGraw is the first Aardman antagonist to be an animal, and the first one to be silent, being followed by Preston, another Wallace & Gromit villain. Feathers McGraw appeared in several episodes of the acclaimed show ReBoot. However he was never mentioned in the show.

The next morning, whilst Gromit eats Korn Flakes when watching morning TV on a mini TV radio and Wallace dries his ears with a hairdryer, he put Wallace's slippers on his feet and took the morning paper to Wallace before Gromit, winning the latter's favor and causing Wallace to pay more attention to him rather than Gromit. Bitter and rejected, Gromit left home. A happy Feathers revealed that this was just part of his plan to get Gromit out of the way and modify Gromit's biggest birthday present (the Techno Trousers) for his own purposes. When Gromit is imprisoned in A Close Shave, the graffiti on the cell wall reads "Feathers was here". A lot of the genius of The Wrong Trousers is that the film is a battle of the wills between two characters who never talk. Wallace, the only character in the film who speaks, is utterly oblivious to the actual action going on. He doesn’t realise that he’s being manipulated by Feathers, or that he is hurting Gromit’s feelings, even when Gromit becomes so dejected that he considers running away from home.Wallace and Gromit are undoubtedly the superstars of the Aardman stable of characters, however their standing has been challenged in recent years by Shaun the Sheep. Shaun first appeared as a supporting character in the Oscar-winning Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave, but, like Morph before him, he couldn’t be contained and now has his own TV series (five seasons so far), a feature film and a half-hour Christmas special. Shaun is well represented in both the exhibition and the ubiquitous gift shop merchandise. Even when he is finally foiled, trapped in an empty milk bottle, he seems unshaken by proceedings. Most of us move through life uncertain of our goals, plagued by anxieties. Not Feathers McGraw. Feathers is a boss, with a clear-eyed sense of purpose and iron-clad faith in his own ability. A vast array of design drawings, storyboards, characters and props has been brought out for display. The exhibition includes more than 350 objects, including some classic pieces from the short films A Grand Day Out, where the characters of Wallace and Gromit were first introduced, and Creature Comforts. And alongside them is the original Academy Award the studio received in 1990 for Creature Comforts. Late in The Wrong Trousers, Gromit threatens to expose Feathers, interrupting his plan to make off with a massive diamond. At such a point in the narrative, most other villains might deliver a long speech, rattling off all the cliches we are used to hearing from cornered baddies. But Feathers doesn’t. Without skipping a beat, the penguin pulls out a comically large gun from a bag, and threatens to shoot the dog dead.
