One of the animators behind Wallace and Gromit is sure there will be another film “because it’s so fun to bring those characters to the world”. The disaster-struck duo’s latest outing, Vengeance Most Fowl, scooped two gongs at the Baftas on Sunday. Peter Lord, co-founder of Bristol’s Aardman Studios where the series is made, said the team were “delighted” by the film’s warm reception. He credited Wallace and Gromit’s creator Nick Park’s “simple enthusiasm” for the characters’ global appeal. Vengeance Most Fowl won Best Animated Film and the newly created Best Children’s and Family Film award. Speaking to BBC Bristol, Mr Lord said: “I think we have all of us been so delighted by the success of this movie that we think ‘yes, we want to do that again’. Not because it’s good business, although it is good business, but because it’s so fun to bring those characters to the world. We don’t make (Wallace and Gromit) for kids or families, we just do what amuses us. That’s the only honest thing we can do, and if you’re lucky and if you’ve somehow got the magic touch as Nick surely has, it ends up appealing to everybody.
