OMG.........................

Props and sets from the Wallace and Gromit films have been destroyed in a warehouse blaze.
The storage building belonging to Oscar-winning Aardman Animations, contained the company's "entire history", a spokesman said.

Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park said it was "dreadful" for the company but comparatively "not a big deal".

The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, the new Wallace and Gromit film, has just gone to the top of the US box office chart.

Company Spokesman Arthur Sheriff said: "It couldn't have come on a worse day - we were supposed to be celebrating, but instead our history has disappeared in a couple of hours.

A lot of the original sets were there, including several panels of original storyboards and that, in a way, is the biggest loss

Dave Sproxton
Aardman co-founder

"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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nick Park has 3 oscars............yes 3...for his amazing animations...........i hope Wallace and Gromit will live to see another adventure.......... :cry:
