"It's a thrill to see Aardman's worlds leap off the screen and into this spectacular immersive experience. From the very first sketches of Wallace & Gromit to the mischievous mayhem of Shaun the Sheep, these stories have always been about heart, hand-crafted detail, and a bit of a laugh. Now, fans can step inside Wallace's invention shed or join Shaun and the Flock in a way that truly captures the tactile spirit of Aardman."
"It will combine famous cinematic moments with unseen Aardman archival content and new bespoke animations to tell the story of how the studio grew from the kitchen table where Peter Lord and David Sproxton first experimented to an Oscar-winning global phenomenon. Through state-of-the-art projections across Lightroom's walls and floor, you'll be able to see how the characters and scenes come to life, from scrap paper drawings to finished films."
