Aardman - Water Bottles - Wallace and Gromit Metal Water Bottle - Feathers McGraw

Product Information

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.

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. In honor of Aardman’s latest film, Early Man, here’s a ranking of their filmography, from their early Wallace and Gromit shorts to the under-seen Shaun the Sheep Movie. 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.Arthur Christmas is a little more conventional than Aardman’s other features, complete with familiar story beats and Christmas sentimentality, but it hits those story beats with so much commitment and complicates that sentimentality just enough that the film sings. It helps that Peter Baynham and Sarah Smith’s script features an airtight premise that endlessly riffs on the Santa story and allows for dizzyingly inventive CG animation (some of the best ever produced this side of Pixar). More than that, Arthur Christmas understands holiday fatigue, and how the season can bring out everyone’s dissatisfaction and fears. It’s only Arthur, the true believer, who never loses sight of what the season means, while the rest of his family tries to exercise their own egos. But it’s Arthur’s determination to make sure no kid gets left out that reminds his whole family that Christmas, at its best, provides a tiny light on an otherwise cold, dark day. 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. Of course, that means Feathers is first and foremost terrifying. But it’s also key to his status as an all-time icon, and one of the boldest, most thrilling characters ever put to the screen. Feathers Is The Anti-Gromit…

Fun Feathers McGraw design: The silicone pop-on, pop-off lid looks just like the rubber glove hat that Feathers McGraw wears in The Wrong Trousers.

Feathers Is The Anti-Gromit…

After a long battle with the penguin, Wallace and Gromit managed to trap him in a milk bottle. They then returned the diamond and turned McGraw over to the police, who imprisoned him in the zoo. Feathers McGraw is always parched, and nothing quenches his thirst quite like a nice cold drink of water. But carrying around a jug or bottle of water can be a real pain. Feathers McGraw's model when he was in a bottle at the end of The Wrong Trousers was featured in a YouTube Short by the official Wallace and Gromit YouTube channel.

A photo of Feathers is shown in the Shaun the Sheep Movie on the board where A. Trumper keeps photos of all the animals he has captured. McGraw is the first villain in the Wallace & Gromit films to use a firearm, with Victor Quartermaine being the second. 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. 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.How many of us would benefit from adopting such an attitude in our own lives — being honest about what we want, and how we want to get it, nosy dogs be damned? 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. That's why Wallace and Gromit came up with the perfect solution: the Feathers McGraw Metal Water Bottle! This handy double-walled metal bottle lets Feathers McGraw drink on the go, without having to lug around a heavy jug of water. 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".
