Catherine Lewanski - Aardman Animations

Who hasn't heard of Wallace and Gromit? The geniuses behind the award-winning animations, as well as numerous others, started in 1972. Peter Lord and David Sproxton began their animating partnership in school, and soon registered the name of Aardman Animations. After graduaing in 1976, they created Morph for the children's program "Take Hart".

However, both Peter and David were both interested in developing animation to appeal to adult as well as child audiences. With their Conversation Pieces and Early Bird, they demonstrated the ability to show insight, humor and sensitivity with clamation people.

Nick Park joined Aardman full time in 1985, discovered by Peter and David when he was working on his student film A Grand Day Out.

Since, they have continued to create intriguing movies, shorts, and TV shows with the stylistic banana-mouthed clay figurines.
