The Pokémon Company is collaborating with ‘Wallace and Gromit’ studio Aardman on a mysterious project

The Pokémon Company and stop-motion studio Aardman are on a “special project” together. We don’t have too many details about the project, except that it will allow Aardman to bring their “unique storytelling style to the Pokémon universe in new adventures.” That sounds like a TV show or movie, right?

We also know that this mysterious project will be released to the public in 2027, so it’s something to look forward to. Companies said more information .

“Aardman are masters of their craft, and we are blown away by their talent and creativity. What we’ve been working on together ensures that our Pokémon fans around the world are in for a treat,” said Taito Okiura, Vice President of Marketing and Media at The Pokémon Company.

Okiura is not kidding. Aardman has been in the animation game since 1972 and is best known for things like the Chicken Run franchise. This company is a powerful animation source for claymation and stop-motion animation. Remember that classic “Sledgehammer” music video by Peter Gabriel? That’s Aardman, as is the video

This collaboration tells me one thing. The Pokémon Company is still interested in stop-motion animation, after the success of . The second season of that show will also drop well before 2027. At least it will tide us over until we get our eyes on whatever Aardman is cooking up.
