NEW YORK — Aardman Animations (www.aardman.com), the UK-based creator of the feature film Wallace and Gromit, and Nathan Love, the Manhattan-based character animation house, have entered into a merger to establish a permanent production and advertising presence in New York City.
Aardman’s roots have always combined the craft and skill of stop frame animation, but in recent years, the studio has developed an equally rich set of skills within the world of computer graphics, particularly in the area of TV commercials and short form films — an area in which Nathan Love also excels.
