What Wallace & Gromit: Cracking Animator is
Wallace & Gromit: Cracking Animator was released in 1998. It was published by BBC Multimedia. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Have a cracking time creating your own animations, adding sound effects and dialogue, and finally saving them as screensavers. Choose some dialogue then try to synchronise the expressions of Wallace and Gromit. You use the mouse to move their eyes, mouths, ears - well everything really while the sound is running. You can choose your set, props, music and characters. Make the characters walk on and say their piece, well not in Gromit's case, of course, and then walk off again. Decide whether you want to make one of your own animations into your current screensaver, or choose one of the three pre-made screensaver games.
