Published Tuesday, May 11 2010, 16:32 BST | By Robin Harrison
The ad, called Hand of Dog, has been launched to advertise utilities company Npower's status as one of the main backers of England's bid to host the 2018 World Cup.
Npower's marketing director Kevin Peake said of the campaign: "We believe a successful bid to stage the FIFA World Cup in England would be fantastic for the country and particularly for Britain's businesses. Wallace and Gromit illustrate, in their fun and endearing way, how hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2018 could also benefit businesses' revenue."
The advert will begin showing on commercial channels on May 12.
