"The immersive experience, titled "Larger Than Life: Starring Wallace & Gromit, Shaun and More," will take over the Lightroom at London's King Crossing this October, marking the Oscar-winning outfit's 50th anniversary. Beloved characters Wallace, Gromit, Morph, and Shaun the Sheep will share the silver screen for perhaps the first time this year-not in a feature film, but in a 50-minute ode to their creator, Bristol-based animation studio Aardman."
"Three years on, "Larger Than Life" will envelope viewers within Aardman's creative process, while tracing its trajectory from its formation by school friends Peter Lord and David Sproxton through its claymation hits including the Wallace & Gromit franchise, Chicken Run (2000), and Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015)."
""Lightroom and Aardman are collaborating to create a handful of new animation sequences," Sabley said. "The team has filmed behind the scenes on some of Aardman's latest projects and spent time trawling through the studio's archive-from sketches and concept art to set models and puppets.""
Aardman, the Oscar-winning Bristol-based animation studio, will mark its 50th anniversary with an immersive exhibition called "Larger Than Life: Starring Wallace & Gromit, Shaun and More" at London's Lightroom venue in October. The 50-minute experience will showcase the studio's creative process and claymation legacy, tracing its journey from its founding by school friends Peter Lord and David Sproxton through iconic films including Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, and Shaun the Sheep Movie. Visitors will be surrounded by original sets, props, archive footage, sketches, concept art, set models, and puppets from the studio's collection. Lightroom and Aardman are collaborating to create new animation sequences specifically for the exhibition, with behind-the-scenes footage from recent projects complementing archival materials.
