Would it be far-fetched to theorise that Feathers McGraw is supposed to 'represent' an opposite of Gromit in terms of small character design features? Like- think about it, neither use dialogue and their emotions are soully represented through music cues/movement (especially through the eyes, in Gromit's case), and Feathers is shown to upstage Gromit to the point where Wallace begins to neglect him (rare Wallace L),
To be fair, this could also be applied to Preston in A Close Shave, but I feel like this theory works better in regards to The Wrong Trousers since Feathers is willingly upstaging Gromit while Preston just wants to get Gromit out of the way of his plan.
how the FUCK did they make that penguin from wallace and gromit look so evil like itβs literally just a plasticine penguin but it somehow radiates Pure Malice look at itΒ
truly character design at its finest
