- Gromit Unleashed... an ominous title without context, that in fact refers to a number of large Gromit sculptures being placed across the UK as part of a charitable Easter Egg hunt.

love these videos! very comfy and cozy vibe - feels like christmas if that makes sense
That's excellent to hear, exactly what I'm aiming for 😊
oh nice! btw, what’s the music used in the bg called?
"Main Menu" from Wii Fit! Unironically brilliant and relaxing soundtrack.
@@heymanwhatsgoingonI have to agree I really enjoy watching him at Christmas 🎄
First sonic, now gromit, who's next bitzer unleashed
I was trying to think of a Sonic-related sculpture trail, then I remembered the game 😅
Dogman Unleashed?
There has been a “Gromit Unleashed Shop” in Bristol’s Cribbscauseway since at least 2013. It had the same products shown in the video, the ability for people to take photos next to some statues, and a kids activity area.
The one which you said @10:55 opened in July 2022 was the same store just relocating to a larger location inside the mall. Moving from from the first floor to the ground floor.
Yeah I gathered there'd been some kind of shop since the beginning. Looking online all I could find was evidence of the supposed "grand opening" last year, which seems to be in reference to the revamped shop as you say.
The real inspiration behind Pokémon Go
😮
Um actually that's easter
Gromit GO!
@@Microsave2 GROMIT USE AUTO TROUSERS
Gromit! Use porridge gun!
I am stateside of "the pond" and I Love Wallace and Grommet! So good and brilliant art. Thanks for sharing!
Great to hear, glad you enjoyed!
I remember back when this happened and it makes me think of how someone in my area has a sculpture of Feathers McGraw in their drive
Oh wow, a real one?
@@SomeBoiOnlinedefinitely not the Gromit unleashed one due to it being smaller, but it has the same pose
Yeah that'll be one of those cool garden ornaments then I belive.
Another great video. Thanks. I would have loved to see Gromit Unleashed back in the day.
Thank you! Really glad to hear that.
I would loved to too I was lucky enough to find a shun at the royal mint in Wales on a school trip
this my first time hearing about this and i just love the fact that this happened
i had a lion equivalent in Paisley, Scotland for the same reason.
There's been a few with animals such as Gorillas beforehand, which is what inspired it I believe.
@@SomeBoiOnline hm.
i remember going to the royal mint in wales in like 2017 and i think they had shaun and gromit statues on display with gromit covered in coins
It's possible, especially considering each one sold at auction could've been taken anywhere.
Love your Wallace and Gromit related videos
Thank you, love to hear that!
@@SomeBoiOnline no problem! yeah
There's a similar thing across Winchester/Southampton with bunny statues. Not sure if it's connected to a charity though. It's a cool way to promote local artists at least.
Very cool, it is indeed!
What I didn't like about Gromit Unleashed was how strong Wallace's secret apprentice was. Way too overpowered.
I’ve been to the Gromit Unleashed shop 2 weeks ago and it was amazing! 😍
Fun fact: At the Royal Bristol Hospital, in the elevator/lift, you can hear Wallace's voice! (I would know, because I've been there)
That's epic!
I think the first one must've flown under my radar (that or I just forgot)
I do vaguely remember the Shaun one being mentioned and I definitely knew about the second Gromit one due to the Yogscast having one of the statues.
Didn't know about the shop either. Might have to pop down to Bristol and have a look round when I've got a bit of spare cash.
Great stuff!
4:57 VANDALISM TOWARDS GROMIT WHO DARES COMMIT SUCH A SIN AGAINST HUMANITY
Imagine destroying something that raises money for dying children
I went to the Gromit Unleashed shop for the first time last week just when they released the special edition Wallace statue as a tribute to Peter Sallis, which I couldn't help but buy... A video on that would be great if you were interested! (Just discovered your great videos)
Thanks, means a lot! I wasn't even aware that had released, it looks to be a wonderful piece that would be great to have.
Quite surprised a gromit statue weren’t placed in Wigan as that’s where Wallace and gromit was set.
I'm looking forward to the North East Shawn the Sheep trail that they're doing with St Oswald's Hospice. Should be interesting to see 100+ sheep everywhere haha!
10:06 Geez I never thought that Aardman and Dreamworks would ever collaborate again!!! After THE BREAK UP.
I didn't think of that 😅
Man, I would love a giant Gromit just chilling in my room.
Great video as usual, you should covered the Miss Piggy "Cellophane" Cover meme for your next video.
Thank you! Means a lot 😀
Not sure if someone's mention this already, but here in Cincinnati Ohio, USA, they did something similar called "The Big Pig Gig" they even published a book! Now you can find various flying pigs and regular pigs throughout the city. My favorite one is "ShazHam" which last I checked was in someone's backyard in Loveland, Ohio. 😂
Hadn't heard of that one, brilliant!
i love Gromit Unleashed
In Georgia America there’s a place called Athens which has the same thing but with bulldog statues that painted in all kinds of different ways
Rhode Island had the same thing with Cows you can still find them in some places of business.
I can see them doing new characters and then they have Wallace and Gromit in the background or they have a shop selling droids and other tech
If I had the chance to design a Gromit he would have been more like the classic but as if he went punk rock/early punk style new wave look with eye shadow and a black collar.
I remember going to the first exhibition in Cribbs Causeway. The queue was over 4 hours long
Gromit Unleashed had me thinking for a second that it was a crazy Sonic mod
Excuse me while I see if someone's done that and if not...well gotta start somewhere
😂👌
Always wondered what this was, surprised anyone else knew about it
I suppose it did make national news a few times and a good handful of people would've seen them out in the wild - so it became pretty widespread
I didn't ever expect you talk about this 😃
Expect the unexpected 🙌
If I recall correctly, Paddington Bear did the same thing, too. Back in 2014 for the then-upcoming movie.
They did a similar sort of thing near my area, except they put rocket statues around town instead of Gromit statues. ✌️☺️
Which Rocket?
@@waggieentertainment9387 You know, the sort of ones they send into space?? ✌️☺️
I live in St. Louis, Missouri and in 2013-2014 (I was 11 at the time), the city did something similar to Gromit Unleashed called “Cakeway to the West”, in which 250 painted 4ft fiberglass cakes were placed around the city, mainly by famous or historic landmarks, restaurants, and hiking trails to celebrate St. Louis’s 250th anniversary. My middle school’s librarian started an art/nature/travel club in which we went on multiple trips around St. Louis to find and get pictures of us by as many cakes as we could.
Most of the cakes were auctioned off, but I don’t think any the money went to any charities. St. Louis has a lot of affluent areas inhabited by stingy, conservative millionaires that probably don’t give a shit about donating to ill children.
Oh well, interesting to hear nonetheless!
I remember being pretty young and going with my mum and aunt to Bristol with my iPhone 4 to find Shaun, I’m not sure why (probably because I didn’t have the app because of my age and my mum having it) but we just took a photo of each one. Considering it was an iPhone 4 I don’t know how good the quality would have been 😂
That's made me feel old, I remember an iPhone 4 being highly desirable in my youth 😂 Great that you got some photos!
Man, I wish that Gromit Unleashed came to the US. Also, they’re making another Gromit Unleashed in 2025!
Great video as always. This was replicated in Cardiff with Snowdogs (from The Snowman and the Snowdog) in 2017 to raise money for a Welsh Homeless charity :)
Thank you, I vaguely recall that one actually, glad you enjoyed!
We have Gromit Unleashed Now We Need Wallace Unleashed
I tought gromit unleashed was sonic unleashed but with gromit lol
A regular Grommetpalooza. (Try saying that after a half dozen Gin and Tonics.)
Or a super regular Sheepapalooza!
Thanks Sean.
The swallows and Amazons Gromit was done not long after the 2016 film version of the first
great video btw did u know shaun in the city came out as top trumps which i have
now i want the gromit monopoly thank u for giving me ideas for my collection
Thanks, no problem! 😅
@@SomeBoiOnline did u know john lassader who designed the buzz gromit is a big wallace and gromit fan and he was in the grand night in doc
nick park was in a doc on last of the summer wine which is how peter salis got the role of wallace rip peter did u know that
We need mugs of these
Weird little bit here (I'm a huge train fan) but at 1:25 you can see some reslly old train carriages, meaning that theres just a special train sitting there and the Bristol Harbour Railway ay 5:10
Oh, I thought he finally snapped.
New subscriber. Love the video. I’m trying to find where these statues are now at the moment. Haha.
Brilliant, love to hear it! 😁
Cracking video Lad
Cheers!
My Favourites include Union Jack Gromit, Gromit Lightyear and Lego Gromit! And now that the Wallace and Gromit set had received 10'000 supporters on Lego Ideas. There's a big chance it could become real! And only if we got a Shrek Gromit!
Yes they're some of my favourites too!
Loved the video! I have a question though, have you ever watched Thomas The Tank Engine? Or read the original books The Railway Series that the TV show was based on? This might song like complete gibberish lol, anyway great vid!
Thanks! And yes, though I would've been approximately the age of 2 😅
This year morph had a trail in london
I hope they named the MRI machine Gromit
I missed the swallows and amazons one but I love the books im a member of the Socitey and I collect stuff
Gromit Unleashed
Gromit Colours
Gromit Generations
Gromit Lost World
Gromit Forces
Gromit Frontiers
Very smart 😏
I was in London today and I saw a lot of Morph statues. Was this a similar event?
Yes I believe so, there's currently some Shauns out and about too!
Why is it similar to the koala thing in Australia
night of the were-gromit???
this is so cool
So it was a bit like the elephant parade?
Wallace and Gromit battle royale.
Makes me wonder what size a 1:1 model of Gromet would be, ss these are rather bigger than that 🤔
10:53 We all know what that thing was
Background music name?
Main Menu - Wii Fit 😀
@@SomeBoiOnline thanks 👍
The vandalists who vandalised the gromit statues are huge laika stans
NFTs are just modern day gromits but bad
