Aardman's Puppets: A Legacy for Sale The news that British claymation studio Aardman is selling its original movie puppets has sent a shiver down the spines of animation enthusiasts and fans of classic children's cinema.
The sale, which marks the studio's 50th birthday, includes nearly 250 items from across their vast production history. At first glance, this move seems like a heartwarming gesture of nostalgia.
