News Summary:
Aardman Animations founders Peter Lord and David Sproxton recently discussed their careers, noting they sold their first short, featuring a superhero named Aardman, to BBC's Vision On in 1972, and created Morph for Take Hart in 1977. Earlier, on August 20, 2026, Nina Sosanya, Paul Whitehouse, and Roman Kemp joined the cast as new guest voice appearances for the upcoming feature film *Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom*, appearing alongside Dani Dyer and Justin Fletcher, who reprises his roles as Shaun and Timmy. This follows the August 19, 2026 announcement that the Met Office, in collaboration with Aardman, invited the public to vote on whether Shaun or Timmy should become a storm name for the 2026/27 season. Previously, on July 24, 2026, Cineworld began re-releasing Aardman classics, including *Wallace & Gromit* and *Shaun the Sheep*, as part of its £2 Family Films season to celebrate the studio's 50th anniversary. Earlier in July, on July 16, 2026, Varèse Sarabande released a collectible picture-disc vinyl edition of the original motion picture soundtrack for *Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit*. Julian Nott scored the album, which also features music from Rupert Gregson-Williams, James Dooley, Lorne Balfe, and Alastair King, and was produced by Hans Zimmer.
