Fire destroys historical Aardman artefacts
On the day that Aardman celebrate a chart-topping opening weekend in the US with Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, they have been hit with the devastating news of a fire at their storage unit in Bristol.
The facility used to store sets, awards, and historical artefacts, is not a part of the Aardman studio, and no-ne has been harmed. However, they fire has destroyed a number of irreplaceable storyboards, awards, props and pieces of film memorabilia from Aardman’s 30 year history.
None of the material from The Curse of the Wererabbit was in storage at the time, but many original sets from Chicken Run, Creature Comforts, and the three Wallace & Gromit short films, have been lost.
