Aardman (because really, they are not a Dreamworks company - more like Disney and Pixar) have the following projects at various stages of development:
Flushed Away
This is a CGI film (but with the traditional Nick Park 'look') about a pet rat who is flushed down into the sewers.
It is no way a 'copy' of Pixar's upcoming Ratattoui as I point out Here. Aardman had the idea as early as 2000 (and I'm pretty sure I once read the initial idea was a result of working with the rats on
Chicken Run so they could of have the idea as early as 1997!)
Flushed Away is actually being animated by Dreamworks/PDI (yes, Dreamworks
own their animation partner) so I would guess Dreamworks are investing in the movie heavily.
The Tortoise and The Hare (could now be called simply
Tortoise Vs Hare)
This is apparently back on again, after having work dramatically stopped for 'story problems'. I know nothing about the film, other than it seems to keep slipping (one suggestion is it now has been sidelined in order to get more commercial films finished, such as
Wallace and Gromit).
Crude Awakening
This is a film written by John
Monty Python Cleese and set in prehistoric times and featuring cavemen. This was announced at the Cannes Film Festival this May. Apparently the script by Cleese is already written and will explain the reason for the troubled relationship between the English and the French throughout history.
Wallace and Gromit - Beyond Were-Rabbit
Nick Park has gone on record that he would like to make more films with W&G (although this doesn't specify if they would be full feature movies or more shorts) and he would rather work on Wallace and Gromit film than any other Aardman film. So I think we can safely assume that W&G will be seen in more adventures in the future.
Creature Comforts
These have little to do with Nick Park these days, but a new series (the 2nd) but I'm not sure when it will be shown on ITV over here in the UK (the last series was sort of buried in a poor time-slot)
Planet Sketch
Not much is known about this. It seems like an animated
Fast Show or
Little Britain for kids. It will feature lots of animated sketches with regular characters and catchphrases, such as The Gnaughty Gnomes and Ninja Handyman. Again, I doubt Nick Park has much to do with this.
Rex the Runt
Sadly, no news on more
Rex the Runt, not even a UK DVD release
I've merged this thread as requested.
