According to the book The World of Wallace and Gromit, original plans were that the film would be forty minutes long, including a sequence where Wallace and Gromit would discover a fast food restaurant on the Moon.Initially distraught at losing its chance to go to Earth, the robot fashions dislodged scraps of the rocket fuselage into skis and starts skiing across the lunar landscape.

Park wanted Wallace to have a Lancastrian accent like his own, but Sallis could only do a Yorkshire voice.

Park unveiled Wallace and Gromit to an unsuspecting public on this day in 1989 at an animation festival at the Arnolfini gallery in Bristol.
