Whew!

May 7, 2008

MIDTOWN, OCTOBER 1996 Wallace and Gromit, the British clay puppets who are stars of the silver screen, spent a day locked in a taxi trunk when a porter at the Rihga Royal hotel, at 54th Street between Avenue of the Americas and Seventh Avenue, overlooked the black box they live in as he unloaded luggage belonging to their creator, Nick Park. Mr. Park gave chase but could not catch the cab or its license plate number. The driver returned the box, with puppets, to the hotel the next day.

    Poor Nick. He seems an unusually unlucky guy when it comes to his creations. The whole Wallace and Gromit warehouse burns down a few years back. And now his guys disappear into Gotham. At least he got them back.
