“Wallace & Gromit’s Fire Squad” by Sketchman

Wallace and Gromit have had many different jobs but doing a lot of firefighting may be the hardest job they have ever had. It’s not like washing windows, it’s not like getting of veggie eating rabbits, and it’s not like baking where the dough needs to be fresh and hot before delivery. Can the two pals from West Wallaby Street pull off putting out fires before another conspiracy happens in this small neighborhood of theirs?

Aardman Animations is officially heading back to theaters with a brand-new adventure for one of its most beloved characters. GKIDS has acquired North American rights to Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, the latest comedy family animation from the Oscar-nominated studio. The film is set to hit theaters just in time for Halloween 2026, promising a mix of spooky fun and Aardman’s signature stop-motion charm. Fans of Shaun and his flock can expect a playful twist on classic monster tales, with plenty of laughs for audiences of all ages. GKIDS, known for distributing acclaimed animated features such as Wolfwalkers and Studio Ghibli classics, will bring Shaun’s newest adventure to audiences across North America. This marks a highly anticipated return to the big screen for Aardman, whose last Shaun outing was the 2019 feature Farmageddon. With a teaser already stirring excitement, The Beast of Mossy Bottom is shaping up to be one of the must-see family films of 2026.

Don't miss out on this egg-citing reunion – watch the trailer now and get ready to squawk with delight as the chickens hatch their plans for another unforgettable escape! Aardman Animation has been working away on Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, the sequel to the 2000 animated comedy Chicken Run. We’re keeping track of everything you need to know about Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, including the plot, cast, trailers, and, most importantly, the Netflix release date, which is expected to be in December 2023.  Directed and written by Sam Fell (Flushed Away, ParaNorman), the screenplay for the Chicken Run sequel was written by Karey Kirkpatrick, John O’Farrell, and Rachel Tunnard and is based on the characters created by Peter Lord and Nick Park. Thandiwe Newton leads a new voice cast as Ginger, while Zachary Levi portrays Rocky and The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey plays the couple's daughter, Molly. The trailer meets Ginger and Rocky as Ginger prepares to lead a mission to break into a chicken farm rather than break out of one, as the group did in the original movie. Though some appear to doubt whether or not Ginger can pull off the latest mission, the chickens seem determined as ever to break into the high-security farm — until they re-encounter the villainous Mrs. Tweedy (Miranda Richardson), who returns after attempting to bake the chickens into pies in the original film.
