His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]
In General[]
- He's overall a pretty good inventor and a friendly person.
A Grand Day Out[]
- When he finds out he doesn't have any cheese, he travels to the moon to get it and takes Gromit with him. There he turns on a certain device, which turns out to be intelligent. Wallace also accidentally fulfils this sentient machine's dream of skiing.
The Wrong Trousers[]
- He gives Gromit a leash collar for his birthday, although Gromit is not happy about it.
- He is quite polite to his new penguin tenant, and when Wallace accidentally finds out that this penguin is a wanted criminal named Feathers McGraw, he and Gromit send him to the police.
Project Zoo[]
- He and Gromit stop Feathers from killing many animals after he starts a riot at his prison.
A Close Shave[]
- When he finds Shaun in his home, he decides to shelter him despite the fact that he had caused a huge mess in his house.
- When Gromit wrongfully receives a life sentence for stealing sheep, Wallace breaks him out of prison and tries to find a way to catch the real culprit.
- He works with Gromit and Shaun to stop the robot dog Preston from turning sheep into dog food. He later reprograms Preston back to normal. He also saves Preston’s owner Wendolene Ramsbottom from having to be his reluctant accomplice in crimes.
Curse of the Were-Rabbit[]
- When Gromit tries to put him on the diet, Wallace accepts it, although he is one step away from a breakdown. He also thanks Gromit for helping him stay in shape.
- He and Gromit help the residents of their city to prepare to the vegetable festival and to catch all the rabbits.
- Also, unlike Quartermaine, Wallace never tries to kill the rabbits, mostly catching them in non-violent ways, despite having both a reason and an opportunity. This shows him as a nature-lover.
- While he does try to brainwash the rabbits, he does it only to do a good thing, as he doesn't want them to harm anyone.
- He does his best to stop the Were-Rabbit, not knowing that the Were-Rabbit is himself.
- During being the Were-Rabbit, he never tries to harm anyone.
- Realizing that it was HIM to be the Were-Rabbit, he does his best to stop it. Even after turning the Were-Rabbit, he tries to avoid unnecessary harm towards the people.
- When Gromit saves him from being shot to death by Victor, he repays it by saving Gromit from falling to death nearly at the cost of his own life. He does it even during still being the Were-Rabbit, which means that while he does have rabbit instincts, Wallace is still Wallace.
- He saves Lady Tottington from a forced marriage of convenience with Lord Victor Quartermaine.
- Also, unlike Victor, he likes Lady Tottington because who she is and not because of her money.
- While he acted a bit rudely to her when she came to tell him that Victor is going to kill the Were-Rabbit, it's understandable, as Wallace WAS that Were-Rabbit and he was turning into the Were-Rabbit at that moment and he didn't want Lady Tottington to see him like that.
- When he sees Victor to fight Lady Tottington, he prevents him and while he does forcibly take her in her garden, it's because he thought that she's in danger. Also, it's the one of Wallace's completely heroic actions done while being the Were-Rabbit, which once again indicates that even if Wallace is the Were-Rabbit, he's still Wallace.
A Matter of Loaf & Death[]
- He saves Piella and her dog from being eaten by crocodiles.
- Even when he learns about Piella’s crimes, he mourns her death when the crocodiles finally eat her.
Vengeance Most Fowl[]
- He creates a robotic garden gnome named Norbot to help people in their gardens.
- He, alongside Grommit, pursue after Feathers McGraw in the canals while the latter tries to escape arrest.
- He makes a machine that helps set the Norbots back to being good after they were programmed by Feathers to be evil.
- He accepts MacIntoshes' apology for holding him responsible for what Feathers did with Norbot.
- While he was obsessed with his technology at first, he acknowledges at the end that he shouldn't rely on it to replace connections with those around him.
What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- Though he usually has a good friendship with Gromit, he doesn't take his warnings seriously and can neglect him at times, which can lead to showing some incompetence from Wallace's behalf, such as when he favoured Feathers McGraw over him in The Wrong Trousers or when he didn't listen to Gromit about Piella's threat in A Matter of Loaf And Death. However, he didn't then know about Feathers's and Piella's true nature unlike Gromit and he did try to stop them from doing bad things when he knew about it, so it's a minor prevention.
