"The Bristol-based animation company Aardman is best known for its most famous creations
Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. But despite the quintessentially British aesthetic
and tone of its movies, this very British studio continues to enjoy international
box office success with movies such as Shaun the Sheep Movie, Flushed Away and Wallace
and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Aardman has always been closely linked with
one of its key animators, Nick Park, and its stop motion, Plasticine-modelled family
films, but it has more recently begun to experiment with modern digital filmmaking
effects that either emulate 'Claymation' methods or form a hybrid animation style.
This unique volume brings together leading film and animation scholars with children's
media/animation professionals to explore the production practices behind Aardman's
creativity, its history from its early shorts to contemporary hits, how its films
fit within traditions of British animation, social realism and fantasy cinema, the
key personalities who have formed its ethos, its representations of 'British-ness'
on screen and the implications of traditional animation methods in a digital era"
