Academy Award winners Wallace and Gromit have taken on a new role as the stars of the Royal Mail's Christmas stamps.

Royal Mail's design team worked closely with Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park and Aardman Animations to produce the stamps.
"When the Royal Mail came to us it was such a privilege, such an honour," said Park.


Park drew the scenes and visual jokes involving the characters, before refining the designs so they would work in a stamp format.

Marcus James, from Royal Mail Stamps, said: "One of the big challenges when we're working with any creator is that you have to constantly review what you're doing and look at it 'small' to see if it's too complex.

"It's great now to see the shots in place. They immediately capture and represent that world of Wallace and Gromit that we're all so familiar with and that we all love really."
Park added: "To see your characters on a tiny stamp, it sounds ironic but they've made it big time now. To be on a Royal Mail stamp, you can't beat it."
