![That didn’t stop Aardman from sneaking in at least one private joke that will have British audiences of a certain age tittering. At one point in the film, returning villain Feathers McGraw acquires an adorable baby seal to sit on his lap and stroke, in the style of James Bond‘s Blofeld.
“I think that was one of the first images that Nick [Park, Wallace & Gromit‘s creator] drew actually, in the early pitch days,” Shelley said. “There was just Feathers with the seal on his lap. And that was it for us, it was just like, ‘yes, immediate green light. I think. So it was lovely to see him get such a big laugh [at the premiere]. I think he’s going to have to have his own show after this.”
“He’s definitely going to get his own series. We call him Ron by the way,” Park playfully added. Ron the Seal: a pointed nod the British DIY company Ronseal, known for its slogan “Does exactly what it says on the tin,” popular enough to have become a common phrase in the UK. So while it’s not directly uttered in the movie, now at least you’re just as in on the joke as the Brits are.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:k46rg3yusy6swhjk2aiosms2/bafkreihs2us2p3kjcxr5hw4yacvc53gr357b4ymmpgrid44og6t6m74lwe)
