Aardman Animation
Who they are
Who can forget moments like the great train
chase through Wallace's kitchen or the 'harmonious couple' Trixie
and Captain Cuddlepuss from Creature Comforts? Moments like these
have been born from the creative brilliance at Aardman Animations.
Founded by David Sproxton and Peter Lord in the seventies, the
studio has grown to be a world leader in 3D animation.
