The Pokemon Firm and Aardman have introduced a really sudden team-up for a “particular venture”, you may simply be ready fairly some time for it.
You recognize who’s top-of-the-line animation studios round? Aardman! The oldsters over there simply all the time 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 be aware: Oisin didn’t actually do that). Proper now it is a bit of a thriller what this venture is, actually the language does not even make it clear if this shall be a movie or TV present.
In a assertion, VP or advertising 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 been blown away by their expertise and creativity. What we’ve been engaged on collectively ensures our international Pokémon followers are in for a deal with!”
Managing director of Aardman Sean Clarke additionally supplied a press release, saying that it is a “large 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 largest 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 recreation, even when Aardman has really 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 venture following final yr’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 specific practice – it is only a disgrace we can’t know what it’s for an additional two dang years.
