Gromit Relieves Nipper

Spot the difference. Yes, it's Aardman Animations' doggie superhero Gromit posing as the famous Nipper (His Master's Voice logo since 1907) for a three-month promotion of children's DVDs at HMV's stores. Oscar-winner Nick Park, a man with a quip for every occasion, said: "It's a great honour to be stepping in the same paw prints as an icon as big as Nipper." It's all go for Gromit at the moment. Aardman Animations recently agreed a three-year movie deal with Sony Pictures (CLICK).
