Via BBC News: Fire hits Wallance and Gromit sets

I love Wallace and Gromit. �A Grand Day Out�, �The Wrong Trousers� and �A Close Shave� all brought me a huge amount of pleasure as a child. It’s really quite upsetting, then, to learn of today’s fire that’s destroyed pretty much all of Aardman and Nick Park’s work (apart from the new film, thankfully). Artifacts destroyed also include �Creature Comforts� and �Chicken Run� sets.

Everything has gone, from as far back as Morph and all the way through to Chicken Run, including Wallace and Gromit, Creature Comforts, it’s all there. Everyone is devastated.

Nick Park is quoted somewhat calmer than I’d be in his shoes (I’d be emotionally crushed), he comments that in comparison to what’s going on in the rest of the world right now, it’s not that big a deal.

Still really sad though.
