FIRE DESTROYS AARDMAN WAREHOUSE

LONDON - All the props and sets from the Wallace and Gromit movies were feared destroyed in a fire on Monday. Production house Aardman Animations said a blaze at a warehouse in Bristol, western England, was thought to have wiped out its entire history, including models, memorabilia and awards from the Oscar-winning Wallace and Gromit short films. Although all archive material was likely lost, the fire should not affect the company’s future productions.

Aw, man... that's really a shame. Aardman is brilliant - pure storytelling geniuses! If you haven't already seen before, I HIGHLY recommend checking out the 3 short films of Wallace & Gromit (available here and here), as well as hitting the theatres to see their first full-length movie: "Wallace & Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit" - one of the best movies I've seen this year!

Man! And last week the Wayne Manor from the 60's BATMAN TV Show burned down, too!
