The Pokemon Company and Aardman have introduced a really sudden team-up for a “particular undertaking”, you will simply be ready fairly some time for it.
You realize who’s the most effective animation studios round? Aardman! The oldsters over there simply at all times hit, even once they miss, with a signature fashion that may simply be recognised anyplace, together with that one Star Wars Visions episode they did. So after I heard the information that the beloved animation studio and The Pokemon Firm are working collectively on one thing, I jumped for pleasure and shouted “yippee!” (editor’s observe: Oisin didn’t actually do that). Proper now it is a bit of a thriller what this undertaking is, in actual fact the language does not even make it clear if this shall be a movie or TV present.
In a statement, VP or advertising and marketing and media at The Pokemon Firm Taito Okiura mentioned, “This can be a dream partnership for Pokémon. Aardman are masters of their craft, and we’ve got been blown away by their expertise and creativity. What we’ve got been engaged on collectively ensures our international Pokémon followers are in for a deal with!”
Managing director of Aardman Sean Clarke additionally offered an announcement, saying that it is a “big honour to be working with The Pokémon Firm Worldwide – we really feel sincerely privileged to be trusted with bringing their characters and world to life in a brand-new method. Bringing collectively Pokémon, the world’s greatest leisure model, along with our love of craft, character and comedic storytelling feels extremely thrilling.”
I am not going to get my hopes up an excessive amount of of it being something like a sport, even when Aardman has truly dabbled within the discipline with titles like 11-11: Reminiscences Retold, however that might be fairly neat when you ask me (trace, trace). Both method, this’ll mark the most recent stop-motion Pokemon undertaking following final 12 months’s Pokemon Concierge, which was made by the Japanese animation firm Dwarf Studios. As a lover of all issues stop-motion, I am all aboard this explicit prepare – it is only a disgrace we can’t know what it’s for an additional two dang years.
