- Aardman co-founders Peter Lord and David Sproxton joined star director Nick Park and Executive Creative Director Sarah Cox at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on Sunday for a 90-minute masterclass marking the studio's 50th anniversary.
- Aardman unveiled "Let's Go Timmy!", a new show set in the Mossy Bottom world established by its Wallace & Gromit franchise.
- Aardman also announced "The Almost (Untold) Story Of Danger Delilah" as part of its Annecy presentation slate.
- Aardman shared fresh details on "Pokémon Tales" during the anniversary session, extending its collaboration with The Pokémon Company.
Why it matters: The Annecy debut positions 50-year-old Aardman to push three distinct audience pipelines at once — a Wallace & Gromit-adjacent original (Timmy), a standalone new IP (Danger Delilah), and a franchise partnership (Pokémon Tales) — making the studio's anniversary moment a slate reveal rather than a retrospective.
