Feathers Magraw and Gromit, from Wallace & Gromit, The Wrong Trousers, Build Your Own Kits, on display at the 2024 Toy Fair, Olympia


On Gromit's birthday, Wallace gives him new techno-trousers to take him on walks. When Wallace realises that he does not have enough money to pay off debts, he rents out the spare bedroom to a penguin, who befriends Wallace and drives Gromit from the house. The penguin takes an interest in the trousers, which can also walk on walls and ceilings, and secretly rewires them for remote control. Gromit realises that the penguin is the wanted criminal Feathers McGraw, who disguises himself as a chicken. Feathers forces Wallace into the techno-trousers and sends him on a test run through town, designed to tire him out and send him back to bed upon returning home. Gromit spies on Feathers as he takes measurements of the city museum, and discovers Feathers' plans to steal a diamond from there. While Wallace sleeps, Feathers marches him to the museum and uses the trousers to infiltrate the building. He uses a remotely operated crane claw contained in a helmet he has made Wallace wear, to capture the diamond, but as soon as he gets the diamond, he accidentally triggers the alarm. As Wallace wakes up, Feathers marches him back to the house and traps him and Gromit in a wardrobe. Gromit rewires the trousers to break open the wardrobe. He and Wallace pursue Feathers aboard their model train set. Wallace disarms Feathers and accidentally escapes from the trousers. After Feathers' train collides with the trousers, Gromit captures him in an empty milk bottle. They take Feathers McGraw to the police where he is imprisoned in the city zoo. Wallace and Gromit pay their debts with the reward money, while the techno-trousers walks off into the sunset.
