Tuli nieli Wallacen ja Gromitin!

[Jari Lehtinen]

Aardmanin varasto Bristolissa on palanut savuna ilmaan.

"Everything has gone, from as far back as Morph and all the way through to Chicken Run, including Wallace and Gromit, Creature Comforts, it's all there. Everyone is devastated."

Aardman co-founder Chris Sproxton said one of the most important losses was a complete exhibition of the three Wallace and Gromit short films which was recently brought back to the UK after a tour of Japan.

Mr Sproxton said: "A lot of the original sets were there, including several panels of original storyboards and that, in a way, is the biggest loss. It's basically a ready-to-go exhibition and sadly that's been destroyed."

Eikö Park unohtanut Close Shaven aikaan taksin takakonttiin salkun, jossa oli Wallace & Grommit hahmot? Hahmot katosivat sen sileän tien, en tiedä saatiinko niitä koskaan takaisin.

Unohti kyllä, mutta ne saatiin takaisin. Parkilla oli tapana kanniskella Oscareitaan muovikassissa, että ehkä hän ei tuosta maallisesta niinkään piittaa... historialliselta kantilta tietenkin kamala menetys. Onneksi sentään aivan kaikki ei tuhoutunut:

BBC: Aardman said some props from its newly-released hit movie, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, were spared.
Nick Baker, of Avon fire and rescue service, said: "We can work with the police and forensic science teams to find the cause and hopefully come to a conclusion in the next couple of days."
Aardman had just been celebrating The Curse of the Were-Rabbit topping the US box office when the fire began.
The film's two main sets, along with several smaller ones and many of the characters, are currently being exhibited elsewhere at a city visitor attraction.
Exhibition organiser Emma Cook said: "We are lucky that we had got some of the more recent sets."
However, articles relating to the characters Morph and Lurpak man perished in the fire, as well as storyboards, sets and news articles from the films Chicken Run and Creature Comforts.
The warehouse contained a collection built up over 30 years and included props, models, scenery and awards.

Aika harmillista että tuolla tavulla katosivat rojut savuna ilmaan, niitä olisi varmaan ilo ollut tiirailla jossain hamassa tulevaisuudessa museon vitriineillä.
