Awesome Aardman

LEGO builder Tom Gerardin is a big fan of Aardman Animations, so he designed a fun kit that includes poseable models of Wallace, Gromit, The Cooker, Feathers Mcgraw, and Shaun the Sheep. Accessories include The Wrong Trousers, a cup of tea, cheese, crackers, and a cracker packet. Show your support on LEGO Ideas.

The latest stop-motion animated film from Nick Park, of Wallace & Gromit and Creature Comforts fame. It’s set in prehistoric times and features the voices of Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, Maisie Williams, Timothy Spall, Richard Ayoade, and more.

Filmmaker Fabrice Mathieu pays tribute to the work of Aardman Animations and Illumination Entertainment with an original story that features seamlessly-blended footage from various Wallace & Gromit and Minions films. Seriously, when is this movie coming out?

Usually, partnership announcements come in the form of boring memos and press releases. But when two great creative firms like Aardman Animations and NYC CG animators Nathan Love join forces, we get something much more special and entertaining like this.

Aardman Animation director Darren Dubicki created this surreal video to promote BBC Radio 2’s tribute to Pink Floyd’s classic Dark Side of the Moon, by playwright Tom Stoppard. Listen to the entire play here (starts at 4:12).

Animation and math geeks will love this clip from Peter Peake, featuring the smartest dinosaur we’ve ever met. With his trig and long-division skills, we’re surprised he couldn’t avoid extinction.

Aardman’s Sumo Science shot this massive animation on an 11,000 sq. ft. set, using tons of sand and life-size props then shot every frame with a Nokia N8 (as a promo for the N8, of course.)
