Nick Park is a British stop motion animator and perhaps one of the most famous and influential in Britain, along with Gordon Murray (Camberwick Green) and Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate (Bagpuss). Nick Park is responsible for a number of productions including Wallace and Gromit, Creature Comforts, Chicken Run as well as his latest film Early Man. The reason Nick Park is considered so influential within the world of stop motion animation is that his work is so utterly ingrained in the world of British culture. Wallace and Gromit are such well known characters that they spawned a series of films, and have also appeared in adverts, video games and other similar types of media. Park has also won many awards for his work including an Oscar and a CBE 1996. Park’s work is suited to a young audience, as is evident through the use of bright colours and weird and wacky characters in his work, and this is reflected by the fact that most of his films are all contained at the same BBFC age certificate category.
