Aardman's Early Man Teaser Trailer

If you are fan of Wallace & Gromit, you will love this movie! It's filled with the same humor as Wallace & Gromit... all from the brilliant minds of Aardman and Nick Park. We are obviously huge fans of Wallace & Gromit & Nick Park and absolutely loved this trailer that was recently released. The bad part is we still have to wait until January 2018 before it gets released in theaters.

Aardman x Nick Park's Early Man First-Look Poster Revealed at Cannes Film Festival

Above is the Early Man Poster from Aardman x Nick Park that was revealed at the Cannes Film Festival.

"Set at the dawn of time, when dinosaurs and woolly mammoths roamed the earth, Early Man tells the story of how one plucky caveman unites his tribe against a mighty enemy and saves the day!

Created in Aardman’s classic stop-motion style, this new film will take audiences into a dramatic prehistoric world and unleash an unforgettable cast of hilarious new characters. Nick Park will be joined by accomplished screenwriters Mark Burton and John O’Farrell to bring this prehistoric adventure to life."

Jinja The Soapstone Lion for Charity

Jake Manion who works at Aardman and his girlfriend will be doing a charity bike ride in November from Uganda to Kenya where they will be raising money for The Kenyan Orphan Project. To help them raise money, they have had a ton of help from Aardman and decided to design a vinyl toy. Instead of the toy being made out of vinyl, they are being hand-carved out of soapstone by Geoffrey in Kenya.

People who donate money will get one of these back. Only 30 of these will be made available as of right now as this is how many they can put in their luggage and take back. If the demand exceeds 30 they will figure something out.

This Thursday, October 30th, they will be auctioning 8 customs Jinja The Lion in resin by the following artists on ebay:

• Peter Lord (Aardman founder) • Rich Webber (Purple & Brown / DC Funnest) • Merlin Crossingham (Wallace & Gromit) • Gav Strange (Aardman / JamFactory) • Sarah Matthews (Aardman / BernysPlace) • Sam Hadley (Slumberbean) • Danny Capozzi (Aardman / Hero73*) • Peskimo Sam

You will also find below is a video of Sam Hadley Painting his custom Jinja.

All proceeds go direct to the Kenyan Orphan Project, who are a great charity based in Bristol, like Aardman.

We've never seen Soapstone Toys before. Looks interesting and something definitely unique.

Batman DC Nation Aardman Action Figure 5-Pack

Just saw these Batman DC Nation Aardman Action Figure 5-Pack up for pre-order at Entertainment Earth. I already have Batman & Robin. Doesn't look like there is much difference between these and the convention exclusive version. Definitely want the other 3 though. If anyone is interested, here's the link to pre-order the set of 5 for $67.99. Scheduled to arrive in September of this year.

DC x Aaardman's Batman & Robin Convention Exclusive Figure Set

DC x Aardman teamed up for this exclusive Batman & Robin Action Figure 2-Pack. Personally this set is hilarious! If you don't know who Aardman is then you need to check them out. They are probably most known for Wallace & Gromit, Creature Comforts, Shaun the Sheep etc... Their figures are so stylized that you know it's done by Aardman.

The line to purchase this and many other exclusive items from the Graphitti Designs booth was insanely long and was pretty much a 2 hour wait to purchase anything as they also sold the Wondercon exclusive T-shirts etc... They are restrained by wire ties so didn't want to yank them out of the box just yet until I can find a good place to put them. Just by looking at them through the box the paint is a bit iffy on these. Unfortunately, you can't stand there and look for the best paint app. It's just whatever they hand you. This is a fun set to get and totally worth the wait in line for these.

DC x Aardman's Batman & Robin Wondercon Exclusive
