Aardman Animations, a privately owned company headquartered in the UK, was founded in 1976. The company, which employs approximately 480 individuals, reported $24.0M in revenue as of 2024. As a tier 2 media tech buyer, it primarily offers media managed services. The company functions as an animation studio, utilizing a distinctive stop-motion animation style in projects such as feature films, TV series, commercials, and music videos.
On February 18, 2026, Aardman launched "The Clay Offs," a social media tournament inviting fans to vote for their favorite among 50 characters to celebrate the studio's 50th anniversary. This followed creator Nick Park's statement on February 12, explaining that a full crossover between Shaun the Sheep and Wallace and Gromit is improbable as the franchises now inhabit "very different worlds." Earlier, on February 6, Timmy Time partnered with The Wildlife Trusts for "The Hedgehog Walk," a family-friendly fundraising challenge running from March 30 to April 30. To further commemorate its 50th anniversary, Aardman released an exclusive merchandise range on January 27 through pop culture retailer Forbidden Planet, featuring iconic brands such as Chicken Run, Creature Comforts, and Shaun the Sheep. Previously, on January 9, the studio announced "Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d & Pichu," a new stop-motion animated series from Pokémon and Aardman, slated for a 2027 release, which will offer a unique perspective on the Pokémon world with Aardman's signature character comedy and craft.
