Aardman Animation Studio’s New Cartoon Line Up!
CHECK OUT THIS GREAT NEWS FROM ROTTENTOMATOES.COM:
Scott Weinberg writes: “Only a few months after severing ties with DreamWorks Animation, the mad geniuses at Aardman hooked up with Sony’s animation division. And now they’re announcing their next movies.
Fans of “Chicken Run”, “Flushed Away” (the brilliant hidden gem from last year) and the Academy Award winning “Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” will be pleased to hear about Aardman’s newest flicks:
“The Cat Burglars” — Described as “Wallace & Gromit” meets “Ocean’s 11″ AND as “family-friendly Tarantino,” this one will be about, you guessed it, a team of feline felons. (And clay-mated, not CG animated.)
“Pirates” — Aardman co-founder Peter Lord will helm this action comedy about … pirates! (Based on the series of stories by Gideon Defoe.)
“Operation Rudolph” — From one of the “Borat” screenwriters … I’ll let Variety describe this one: “The Christmas movie shows the North Pole operation as an exhilarating ultra-high-tech military procedure on a massive scale, revealing how Santa and his huge army of combat elves get around the whole world in one night.” Sounds cool!!
