The stop-motion duo, Wallace & Gromit, will receive a special recognition award at this year\u2019s National Television Awards (NTAs).<\/p>\n

The honour marks over three decades of the claymation characters, inventor Wallace and his trusty beagle Gromit, who have appeared on screens across the world, entertaining generations of children and adults alike.<\/p>\n

The award will be presented at this year\u2019s NTAs ceremony at London\u2019s O2 arena on September 10 and be received by Wallace and Gromit themselves from their home in West Wallaby Street in a brand new specially-created acceptance film.<\/p>\n

The characters were created by animator and director Nick Park and made their debut in 1989 (Alamy\/PA)<\/p>\n

Comedian Joel Dommett, who will be hosting this year\u2019s NTAs, said: \u201cWallace & Gromit aren\u2019t just characters \u2013 they\u2019re part of our cultural DNA.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenerations have grown up laughing at Wallace\u2019s madcap ideas and cheering for Gromit\u2019s quiet brilliance. They\u2019re clever, quintessentially British, and endlessly loveable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t think of a more perfect recipient for our 30th special recognition award \u2013 it\u2019s going to be a very special moment on the night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Created by animator and director Nick Park, Wallace & Gromit made their debut in 1989\u2019s A Grand Day Out which went on to win the Bafta award for Best Short Animated Film in 1990.<\/p>\n
