Gromit is #1 on the list on Empire Magazine's "The 50 Best Animated Movie Characters"

Looks like Gromit doesn't have his own imdB page so I guess I will post it here and maybe on The Curse of the Were-Rabbit board.

Here's what they say about him

WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT

Gromit doesn't ever say a word, but there has never been a more expressive character (animated or otherwise) to grace our screens. The long-suffering companion to inventor Wallace, Gromit is a mechanical genius in his own right, a vegetable-grower par excellence and an unfailing example of British pluck and can-do spirit. He also boasts a flair for deadpan that Buster Keaton would be proud of and the ability to let us know exactly what he's thinking with no more than the twitch of an ear. With the fingerprints of genius animators all over him (literally), Gromit is an example to us all.

Stroke of genius
While The Wrong Trousers' train chase takes some beating, our favourite is Gromit's realisation that the Were-Rabbit is in fact…Wallace!

Fun fact
Gromit's birthday is February 12, making him an Aquarius - apparently an intellectual sign. Cooler, however, is the fact that there is a NASA Mars rover named after him.
