The Wrong Trousers debuted in the United States on 17 December 1993, and the United Kingdom on 26 December 1993 on BBC Two. [3] It was commercially successful, and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1994. It also inspired a charity fundraising day, known as "Wrong Trousers Day", one of several events. This time, it's action and laughter all the way as our Plasticine stars are plunged into an hilarious tale of skullduggery involving an extraordinary pair of automated Techno-trousers and a villainous penguin. Posing as a innocent lodger, the fiendish fish-eater sets about recruiting mild-mannered Wallace as a unwitting accomplice to his dastardly plot - a diamond heist with a technically advanced, trouser-inspired difference. It's left to the faithful Gromit to turn detective and save the day as malice and mayhem culminate in a breathless train-top chase - around the sitting room! The film was awarded the Grand Prix at the Tampere Film Festival, and the Grand Prix at the World Festival of Animated film – Animafest Zagreb in 1994. The Wrong Trousers won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1994.
