Nick Park’s Aardman Animation offices in Bristol, England collapsed after a fire tore through it. The company’s “entire history,” including props and sets from the first three Wallace & Gromit films, have reportedly been destroyed. Aardman reps say that sets from the just-released film Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit were spared.

Apparently all that is left is one Wallace and one Grommit that Park was traveling with on the press tour.

How awful! How depressing to see the whole history destroyed, and a what terrible event to kick-off the release of “Were-Rabbit.”

That is sad I grew up with watching the Morph character on TV. Quite a loss from the UK animation industries history.
