Teddy Mountain UK is set to release the hugely popular character, Gromit, as a make-a-bear plush. Licensed from multi-award-winning Aardman’s long running and beloved claymation franchise Wallace & Gromit, the new Gromit plush will be available in the UK 25th April 2025.
The Gromit plush follows Teddy Mountain UK’s 2024 release of Shaun the Sheep, also licensed from Aardman.
Ryan Davies, Director, Teddy Mountain UK, Ltd, said:
“The hugely successful release of our Shaun the Sheep make-a-bear plush underscores our winning strategy of licensing high profile IP, led by these wonderful Aardman characters. Gromit is a British national treasure and we are thrilled to welcome him into the Teddy Mountain family.”
Hannah McFarlane, Licensing Manager, Aardman added:
“Teddy Mountain continues to lead the way in delivering the ultimate Make-A-Bear experience, and we’re thrilled to see Gromit join the plush family alongside Shaun the Sheep. We look forward to seeing the fans’ excitement as they create their very own version of our iconic pooch!”
Aardman recently won two BAFTA awards for Animated Film and Children’s and Family Film and has received a 2025 Best Animated
Feature Academy Award nomination for the film Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Since Nick Park introduced the characters in 1989’s Academy Award-nominated A Grand Day Out, the duo has appeared in 4 other films, including The Wrong Trousers which won 13 awards, including the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.
The inventor and his trusted canine companion are a regular highlight of primetime TV schedules, especially during the festive season and most recent viewing data shows that the critically acclaimed hit film has broken through the 20m mark reaching an astonishing 21.6 million viewers
