Wallace and Gromit: They'll Be Clay Again

A day after DreamWorks Animation severed its relationship with Aardman Animation, citing its unprofitable releases of Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit in 2005 and Flushed Away in 2006, Aardman said it is developing a new Wallace and Gromit movie. An Aardman spokesman told Reuters that Nick Park, who created the characters, is working on a script for a new feature. "What we have achieved [as a result of the split with DreamWorks Animation] is our freedom to make the film we want to make," spokesman Arthur Sheriff said Wednesday. Unlike Flushed Away, which was produced using computer animation, the new film will be produced using Aardman's signature Claymation technique. "Nick loves creating stories for Wallace and Gromit and he feels they only really work in plasticine," Sheriff said.

与它说的“A day after DreamWorks Animation severed its relationship with Aardman Animation”相对应的是昨天IMDb的新闻G'bye, Gromit!DreamWorks Animation has ended its partnership with Britain's Aardman Animation after taking enormous losses on Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit, which won the Oscar for best animated film of 2005, and last year's Flushed Away. The latter film reportedly cost DreamWorks $142.9 million but took in only about $50 million at the box office. In a statement DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg said, "While I will always be a fan and an admirer of Aardman's work, our different business goals no longer support each other." Aardman spokesman Arthur Sheriff told the London Times that the company wanted to return to making "claymation" films. (It used computer animation for Flushed Away.) He added: "We always knew that America would be a hard task for us -- we're a very English company. ... We think part of our strength is our English sense of humor and we want to continue with that." 看到昨天的新闻真是sad sad sad,不过很高兴又能看到新的奖门狗了:)看来与梦工厂的分离也不一定是一个坏消息。很喜欢奖门狗系列，05年它得了奥斯卡，前几部奖门狗短篇也分别获得了当年的奥斯卡最佳动画短片奖，当之无愧哦！阿德曼重新坚持自己的路线是件好事，虽然也喜欢《鼠国历险》，但更中意“传统招牌”奖门狗阿高:)阿德曼在发言中也说了他们在美国失利的原因，“we're a very English company”，很英国化的动画公司，浓浓的英伦风格。
