Aardman Animations is a British animation studio based in Bristol in the UK. The studio is know for films made using stop-motion clay animation techniques, particularly featuring plasticine characters like Wallace and Gromit.
Aardman was founded in 1972 as a low-budget project by Peter Lord and David Sproxton, who wanted to realise their dream of producing an animated motion picture. The partnership provided animated sequences for the BBC series for deaf children, and later created Morph, a simple clay character
Aardman also created the title sequence for The Great Egg Race and supplied animation for the multiple award winning music video of Peter Gabriel's song "Sledgehammer". They produced the music video for the song My Baby Just Cares For Me by Nina Simone in 1987.
In 2010 Aaradman renewed a contract with Sony Pictures Entertainment to finance, co-produce and distribute feature films. The first film, Aardman's first 3-D feature film, a computer-animated Arthur Christmas, was released in 2011.
