Wallace and Gromit Make Way For Rats
The animation studio behind Wallace and Gromit has ditched its much-loved trademark clay models for its next film.
UK-based Aardman Animations is using computer graphics to create Flushed Away, which follows the lives of London’s rats in their sewer home.
But the creators of stop-motion hits like 2000’s Chicken Run and last year’s Curse of the Were-Rabbit say it has not abandoned the painstaking process of using the Plasticine figures for good.
Flushed Away is Aardman’s third picture in a five-movie deal with American film giant Dreamworks and its first to use computer graphics.
Co-director Sam Fell said they had worked hard however to make sure it did not look unrecognisably slick, and had “Aardman-ised” the characters.
“They have wide smiles, round edges and spherical eyes close together,” he told USA Today.
...With this movie, I have a funny feeling rats will become the next biggest thing in pets...
