Trivia

• Gromit can be heard barking on some occasions during the films. In all cases, it is unknown who the voice actor was.
  • A Grand Day Out: While he was using a drill and flung away when it got stuck.
  • The Wrong Trousers: When the trousers pulled him out for a walk and back into the house.
  • A Close Shave: When he was pulled from his bungee rope by Preston and was shown stretching up and down while Wallace was talking with Wendolene.
  • Vengeance Most Fowl: When Norbot is sawing off the tree branch that Gromit is sitting on to observe Feathers McGraw at West Wallaby Zoo.
  • He can also be heard growling in the audiobook of The Wrong Trousers after Wallace gets the newspaper from Feathers and compliments their paying guest.
• He does not appear to have any fur, which is alluded to in A Close Shave when Wallace says "We've tested this [the Knit-o-Matic] on Gromit, haven't we, lad?" Gromit replies with a dark nod and a faraway look.
• Nick Park originally wanted to voice Gromit himself, before casting Peter Hawkins. But he later scrapped his lines as he felt he did not need to communicate with words.
• Gromit was perhaps partially inspired by the character of Snowy from The Adventures of Tintin, and was originally going to be a cat with a large toothy grin. This idea was later scrapped as Nick Park found a dog was easier to animate.
• In Crackers in Space, upon the eve of his birthday, Mr. Patel remarks that Gromit will soon be old enough to vote in dog years, suggesting him to be nearly 3 years old by the common 7:1 dog years metric.
