Nick Park is a four time Academy Award® winner, three in the category of Best Animated Short Film - Creature Comforts, Wallace & Gromit films The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave and Best Animated Feature Film for Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

All four films were created and produced at Aardman, in Bristol, where Park is a director.

Nick joined Aardman in 1985 to complete his college film A Grand Day Out and served as a director and animator on numerous projects including pop promos, title sequences and inserts for children’s television. Alongside Peter Lord, Nick co-directed the studio's first feature film, the highly acclaimed box office hit Chicken Run.

The World of Wallace & Gromit is always in Nick’s mind, but his most recent feature film featured a very different world that he has wanted to share, the pre-historic world of Early Man.

Wallace & Gromit return for a new film in 2024, directed by Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham.
