DESCRIPTION
Over the years, SFFILM Education has had the honor of celebrating the work of beloved animation studio Aardman Animations, and we are always thrilled to present their newest work. Founded in 1976, Aardman are best know for such iconic titles as Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit, and Early Man. Their numerous awards and accolades include four Oscars and 18 BAFTAs. Shaun the Sheep was first introduced to audiences in the 1995 short film A Close Shave. Since then, he has become one of their breakout stars with feature films (all screened with SFFILM) of his own along with the long running television series.
