Peter Lord and David Sproxton began Aardman Animations in 1972, creating their first professional production in Bristol. In the 1980s, Nick Park joined the company and created the Oscar-winning shorts The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave. Aardman then produced their first full-length feature, Chicken Run, in 2000. They followed this with other successful films and television series featuring their claymation characters like Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. Aardman continues to produce both short films and feature-length animated movies using their signature stop-motion clay animation technique.
