Aardman Rights, in association with cross-platform app developer Widebeam Digital has launched the all-new Wallace and Gromit Chat-O-Matic app for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.
The app costs £1.49, and is pre-loaded with 48 classic Wallace-isms, including “Someone’s been at me cheese” and “Hold tight lad and think of Lancashire hot pot”.
The real fun comes, however, when you put the app in ‘Chat-O-Matic’ mode, where Wallace and Gromit fans can select their favourite phrases and when they turn their Apple device over and place it under their nose, they have the animated mouth and voice of Wallace.
“In true Aardman style, the Chat-O-Matic app breaks mobile and animation boundaries by utilising pre-captured frames and reanimating them within the app in real time to create a very realistic Wallace that we all know and love,” says Robert Goodchild, head of licensing at Aardman Rights
