News Summary:
Aardman Animations plans to exhibit at Brand Licensing Europe on September 28, 2026, showcasing its 50-year history and latest projects, continuing its year-long celebration of its golden jubilee. Previously, on September 4, 2026, the Bristol-based studio, famed for "Shaun the Sheep," "Wallace & Gromit," and "Chicken Run," formally marked its 50th anniversary. Managing Director Sean Clarke issued a message expressing pride and gratitude, attributing the milestone to founders Sir Peter Lord and Sir David Sproxton. Coinciding with this celebration, Aardman partnered with Propstore, an entertainment memorabilia auction house, for a live auction on September 24, 2026, offering original puppets from its extensive 50-year catalog, including iconic pieces from "Wallace & Gromit" and "Shaun the Sheep." Earlier, on August 31, 2026, LEGO developed a new printing technology for a small, curved 1x1 dome element to accurately depict the eyes for its upcoming LEGO Ideas 21371 Wallace & Gromit set, selecting the piece for its close match to the characters' appearance despite previous printing limitations.
