Dreamworks Dumps Wallace and Gromit

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the just-need-some-space dept.

Tiger4 writes "Aardman Animation and Dreamworks are splitting their relationship. Apparently Dreamworks feels they lost money on 'Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit' and 'Flushed Away.' So off to their separate ways they go. Aardman is going back to stop motion and clay, Dreamworks will be staying with their CGI ways." In addition, Aardman Animation announced that a new Wallace and Gromit film is in the works.

    ...when winning an Oscar just isn't enough.

      Oscars don't come with cheques
      No, but they used to come with a nice gift-bag, though.

      I've had it with this cheap-ass movie industry. If Dreamworks doesn't apologized to Wallace and Gromit, I'm going to strap some blinking cartoon characters around my body and go to the next Academy Awards ceremony.

    "...everybody knows Hollywood's made of cheese".

    "They're crackers! We've forgotten they're crackers!"

    "No more Americans -- more trouble than they're worth! I could just fancy some cheese, Gromit. What do you say? Cheddar?... All's well that ends well, that's what I say. Uhmm... I do like a bit of gorgonzola..."

    "It's the wrong company Gromit. And they've gone wrong"

    Plus raised eyebrows and a pained look from Gromit of course!
