They are credited with creating Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Morph.
Aardman have been around since 1972 and focus mainly on claymation- the art of stop motion animation using modelling clay characters.
Their characters are loveable and pretty simple in design, which is perhaps due to the materials used as many details would get out of shape and changed too much during production.
In the Wallace and Gromit animations, Wallace's mouth was carefully interchangeable which made it easier to change expressions and make it look as if he was talking.
The armatures were created intricately with the ability to bend and move how the character needed to without losing their shape. This was done with strong metal skeletons and many adjustable joints.
