Aardman Film Studio UK

You all know that the studio was founded in 1972 by Peter Lord and David Sproxton, who have known each other since school. Even before the creation of the studio, they managed to sell a twenty-second cartoon to the BBC's Vision On program. The name of the company comes from one of its characters - Aardman (from the Dutch aard - "earth", and the English man - "man"). After founding the studio, in 1976, they created Morph, the plasticine hero for the BBC's Take Hart program. Subsequently, Morph participated in the series "The Amazing Adventures of Morph" along with "Wallace and Gromit", "Creature Comforts", "Shaun the Sheep", "Timmy Time" and others.
