"Quick someone arrest him": Hilarious reactions erupt as Wallace, Gromit, Norbot and Feathers McGraw takes selfie at the BAFTAs 2025

Hold on to your claymation hats for the BAFTAs—things just got a lot more animated! In a surprise appearance, beloved characters Wallace, Gromit, Norbot, and the mischievous Feathers McGraw took a break from their usual antics to strike a pose for fans, bringing smiles all around.

It was like the ultimate crossover event but with fewer explosions and more cheese. Fans of the lovable clay crew were sent on a nostalgic trip to simpler times when the most dramatic moment of their day was Wallace getting stuck in a contraption or Gromit side-eyeing him in disbelief.

It was the kind of reunion that made you think, "Forget the awards this is the real show!" And of course, Wallace and Gromit nailed their signature looks -Wallace rocked his cozy knitwear and looked like he just stepped out of the very stylish cheese shop.

Gromit, ever the silent fashion icon gave us that classic, unimpressed pose. And Feathers McGraw stole the show with that bow tie. How could a criminal mastermind pull off formalwear so effortlessly? It was like a villainous penguin with a PhD in style.

The mix of nostalgia and pure joy had the BAFTA crowd buzzing with excitement as if everyone suddenly realized that Claymation had more charisma than most humans in the room.

You could literally hear the applause of the fans who were still waiting for a Gromit solo film. As soon as the post went viral, someone (@Wrestle_G) took to his X account and commented:

"Quick someone arrest him!"

The rallying cry echoed across X faster than Feathers McGraw can escape. Even in a bow tie, the penguin has been caught. The moment he steps into the spotlight the world’s collective instinct is to shout: Is that a criminal mastermind in formalwear or just an underdressed villain?

Someone has to stop him before he steals the show and the last of these snacks. If he's plotting his next heist, we all hope - but we still hope - that he doesn't take the BAFTA trophy for “Best Animated Feature” on his way out.

And of course, as soon as these legendary claymation characters trooped onto the red carpet, the X fanatics didn't stop - they immediately went into a frenzy.

Twitter went wild with responses, ranging from wistful throwbacks to emotional pleas for a Wallace & Gromit reunion movie, to whether Feathers McGraw was going to start his own clothing line.

The BAFTAs had officially descended from highbrow to highly entertaining in the blink of an eye, and fans were more than willing to play along with their responses. Let's take a look at the pandemonium they created!
