On November 4th, 1989, the Wallace and Gromit cartoon A Grand Day Out premiered in the United Kingdom.[8] In one scene of the short, character Wallace leaves the spaceship during the pre-launch sequence to get crackers, giving his dog Gromit a concerned look before leaving.

The cropped, blurred, red-tinted still from A Grand Day Out features the character Wallace with bulging eyes, paired with the caption "what the fuck did you just bring upon this cursed land".
