Sorry to break this to Wallace and Gromit fans, but the Aardman Animations warehouse in Bristol was gutted by a fire last night.

What a bummer! Any just when their new film has been released to sellout audiences in the States - wonder if there's any connection. I suspect the penguin.....

Apparently some sets (including some from The Wrong Trousers) are safe because they were out on exhibition. Everything in the warehouse has gone though.

Oh! Well, that's not as bad as I thought. I was afraid Jerry Falwell was going to tell us they were gay or something. . . .

But take hope; our eccentric puttyfaced heroes shall, like the proverbial Phoenix (did I spell that right?) arise from the ashes better than ever!

Or weirder than ever... or something like that.

What's the plural of Phoenix? Phoenixes? Phoenixi?...

Whatever...;

RESURGENS!!!
