Wallace and Gromit fans have spent the weekend worrying about the fate of production studios Aardman Animations after it was reported that the stop-motion animation studios were “running out of clay”.
The Bristol-based animation company behind British classics such as Shaun the Sheep and Chicken Run were said to be in their “time of knead” last week when The Telegraph reported that Aardman Animations had just enough clay to allow Aardman’s animators to create one more film, a forthcoming Wallace and Gromit animation due to hit the screens next year. It was suggested that the company would have to find a new type of clay if it were to continue.
