One constant? The studio’s ability to bring unforgettable stories to life through its brilliantly charming characters.
This special anniversary retrospective features classic shorts such as Peter Lord’s Grand Morph’s Home Movies (1981), Nick Park’s Oscar-winning The Wrong Trousers (1993), and Jay Grace’s Shaun the Sheep 3DTV (2014).
