Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Aardman Animations Ltd. may have split from DreamWorks Animation SKG, but that doesn't mean that can't go it on their own with the popular franchise, Wallace & Gromit.
Aardman Promises Another Wallace & Gromit
Aardman Animations spokesman, Arthur Sheriff, announced yesterday that Nick Park was busy working up a Wallace & Gromit sequel.
"Wallace and Gromit are alive and kicking. There is a project on the table right now."
For those of you hoping for a theatrical release, don't count your chickens just yet.
"It could be television, it could be a feature film. That depends on how the storyline develops. It will go into production as soon as he has finished writing it."
DreamWorks Animation and Aardman ended their seven-year pact this Tuesday claiming that, "ambitions have moved apart." Though Nick Park is still amped on the Wallace franchise, Curse of the Were-Rabbit may have brought on the decision to split. Yes, the film scored high with the critics and even carried home an Oscar for best animated feature, but it did poor at the box office.
Add in the fact that the two failed to successfully follow-up the 2000 release of Chicken Run, and we can see how the two studios' relationship began to crack faster than hardened clay.
