Moon Machine from A Grand Day Out

A cracking good alien?

This little being is the actual Moon Machine that appeared in Nick Park’s first Wallace & Gromit film. The intrepid explorers found it on the Moon. Like many fictional aliens, it looks and acts very similar to things on Earth. It appears to be a cross between a robot and a cooker. It issues parking tickets, uses a policeman’s truncheon and dreams of a skiing holiday.
