SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - (Business Wire) What’s better than a sizeable chunk of Wensleydale cheese? How about a free full game episode of Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures! Telltale today joins Aardman Animations in celebrating Wallace & Gromit’s 20th anniversary by opening up free downloads of one of the critically-acclaimed series’ episodes, Muzzled! at www.freewallaceandgromit.com today through noon (PST) Monday, November 9. Additionally, the full four-episode PC season of Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures will be discounted to $20 (roughly ₤12 GBP) from $34.95 USD for these same dates in honor of the eccentric inventor and his canine companion’s two decade milestone. In Muzzled! town newcomer, Monty Muzzle, is holding a fundraiser to rebuild the local dog shelter. Gromit soon realizes that Muzzle's intentions aren't exactly charitable and he must foil the huckster's plot to save the town's investment and rescue his canine friends. Gamervision said of Muzzled!, “The humor is spot on, the new characters and locations are entertaining, and it's obvious that Telltale has really found the niche into which Wallace and Gromit's story fits.” November 4 marks the 20th anniversary of Wallace & Gromit’s first appearance in the Aaardman short, A Grand Day Out. Since their debut, the inventor and his silently expressive dog have built an enormous global following, appearing in award-winning animated short films, a feature-length motion picture, their very own books, video games, apparel, and much more.

About Wallace & Gromit Wallace An endearing and affable inventor. Ever enthusiastic, Wallace's hair-brained, over-ambitious, yet well intentioned ideas consistently get him and his faithful hound into trouble. A definite penchant for cheese and crackers, not to mention fashionable knitwear! Gromit Wallace's long-suffering loyal pooch. Gromit cares greatly for Wallace even though he's often railroaded into his master’s mad-cap plans. Though cultured and sensitive, preferring order and the quiet life, Gromit displays amazing courage and heroism when it comes to getting his master out of self-made scrapes. About Telltale, Inc.
