Current Company Logo

Aardman Animations are currently developing a number of new projects to be produced as both CGI and stop frame feature films. They are looking for designers, story artists, editors and CG artists with experience on features to join the team for the next CGI venture. All posts would need a flexible approach to work as it is likely that certain aspects of the production will take place in the USA.

In 1976 David Sproxton and Peter Lord established Aardman Animations in Bristol, determined to make animated films that appealed to all age groups. In 1985 Nick Park joined the studio. Since then, Aardman has received six Oscar Nominations and has won four times.

Aardman is now recognized as the world's leading model animation studio. They have a thriving CGI department producing approximately 25 - 30 TV commercials each year. Aardman's Broadcast and International Departments are also responsible for the development, production and distribution of Aardman's TV series, specials and shorts.

During the late nineties, Aardman Features was established, with "Chicken Run" as the first feature to be produced in this new studio. Aardman went on to win the Oscar for their second feature film "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Wererabbit", and Aardman's first CGI feature "Flushed Away" was released in 2006.
