I grew up watching Wallace and Gromit, hearing that it’s getting another movie is music to my ears

[Blakeneyd]

As an American, I’m so happy that they pulled away from Hollywood and decided to focus on their own unique sense of British humor. We need more than one type of “voice” in the world we live in. Thanks for bringing happiness to so many people worldwide.

The brow ridge of Gromit is one of the masterpieces of animation.
When you can express the full range of emotion just through the eyes and brow, well, that’s just perfection.❤️

Even as a kid I tried to make my own little “Claymation” movies inspired by Aardman. This is my childhood.

[NickShvelidze]

I love Aardman so much, nothing comes close to their level.

"Something inside you just says, I don't trust this penguin" Words to live by

I respect y'all for still sticking with claymation while almost every other show switched to CGI (cough cough, Bob the Builder).
It may be tedious, but it genuinely feels like everyone at Aardman put their heart and soul into each scene.
Thank you for so many years of joy and entertainment.

As a young mexican, i grew with not supervised internet at all, i used to spend all my time watching stop motion animations and Wallace and Grommit were always on my top list... Much love and thank you for everything

I know the milestone date isn't until April 2022, but here is an early message to say "Happy 50th Anniversary Aardman".

As an American (hopefully not a stupid one), I love the Aardman films for their crisp Britishness. They wouldn't be the same without that.

Ah yes, I remember reading in the news of the fire at Aardman. It greatly saddened me. I was on an online forum later that year talking about "Flushed Away", and some of my friends told me they were disappointed that it was going to be CGI animation, and they probably wouldn't bother to see it. So I told them about the fire, and why it was vitally necessary that they continue to support Aardman. I'm happy to see the studio still doing well, though yes, I was grieved to hear of Peter's passing. Alas, time marches on, and change is something we must all face up to, and decide how we will accommodate it. Keep up the lovely work!

Wallace and Gromit is just one of the most likeable works in modern media. I don't know anyone who dislikes it, regardless of what country they're from, what language they speak, or age they are. Even if you're not a fan, it's still just so strangely pleasant.

[AtreiusLux]

God that fire must have been utterly heart-breaking for them, well done to Aardman for keeping up the momentum and carrying on!

I stumbled on Shaun the Sheep quite by accident when I was in my 40's and I was hooked. It was on in my country at about 4:15 am and I got up just to watch it. I've always loved GOOD animation and even as a small child knew the difference.

[mdkenny]

Many of us Canadians enjoy Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep etc. The humour is wonderful. Thank-you to these talented people.

When this first was released on Netflix, I loved this and how it was behind the scenes and how they created the characters. This became one of my favorite documentaries.

[skinner]

This is a great documentary. I really can’t wait for the next Wallace and Gromit film.

[ComicalRealm]

Stop motion always looks so gorgeous and oozes with character in a way that I haven't seen achieved by mass-produced GCI animation. It's really special that these types of productions are around, considering the nature and competitiveness of the industry

[UltraMagaFan]

The first time I watched an Aardman cartoon I was 7. I'm 19 now and their cartoons still amaze me. What amazes me the most is how they manage to get so many expressions and feelings into some of their characters without them speaking a single word. I recently watched every single season of Shaun the Sheep and both of the movies and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Stop motion truly is an artform. This studio is on a whole other level.

Those Wallace and Gromit shorts mean so much to me. I was left fascinated when I discovered them when I was a kid. It was difficult to find a good quality copy in Spain during those years, but I was lucky and I rewatched the original trilogy of shorts so many times. I was inspired enough to attempt making my own shorts based on their style. So difficult, but so fun at the same time! That's how I started to see what I wanted to do with my life, and now, 12 years later, I'm a Filmmaking graduate!
It was also awesome when I had the chance to see and enter (without an appointment hahaha) the building of Aardman in Bristol, during my first Uni year. Just a curious, shameless kid making a dream come true, sorry for that!
