I love their work. A Grand Day out, The Wrong trousers etc are great.
A thumbs up from Bristol, they’ve done so much for the children’s hospital here. BDSbarb
It seems to me rather a shame this report never did mention WHAT is going to be released in mid-September – a feature film, a TV episode? And perhaps actually with a name…?
I used to watch shawn the sheep as a kid.
Always thought the animation was a bit choppy and different but had no idea that its a clay animation.
