Aardman films have made $1 billion worldwide and average $147 million per film. All of their stop motion films are among the highest-grossing stop-motion films, with their debut, Chicken Run (2000), being their top-grossing film as well as the highest-grossing stop-motion film of all time.

Why Their Cracking Business Is What We Call The Pixar Of the UK

 * 1) British animation in its purest form. Speaking of the major animation in the United Kingdom, it was the very first major British animation studios.
 * 2) Well-crafted 3-dimensional animation (using both stop motion clay animation and computer-generated animation techniques). They have also made some 3D animated movies that manage to replicate claymation mostly very well.
 * 3) Its beloved flagship franchise, Wallace and Gromit.
 * 4) Because of the success of A Grand Day Out with Wallace and Gromit, Aardman decided to shift from Channel 4 network to the commercial-free BBC networks.
 * 5) Brilliant soundtrack. For example, starting in The Wrong Trousers, the Wallace and Gromit theme song became a lot more orchestral that proudly fits the British style and the London Symphony Orchestra territory.
 * 6) The humor in their movies is really good and funny. For example, In Flushed Away there's a humorous scene where Rita beats up Roddy.
 * 7) They've also made great short films like Wallace and Gromit in The Wrong Trousers that helped bring them to fame.
 * 8) Great voice acting in most of their works.
 * 9) Great character designs that are well molded.
 * 10) They are known for revolutionizing stop motion claymation movies.
 * 11) Their movies also serve nice messages.
 * 12) They've also made great TV shows like Shaun the Sheep (based on a character from the Wallace and Gromit short A Close Shave).
 * 13) *It created its very first preschool program, Timmy Time.
 * 14) Lovable and memorable characters such as Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep.
 * 15) Their adult shows aren't terrible either, such as Angry Kid.

Not So Cracking Qualities

 * 1) Their good films tend to have underperformed at the box office, such as Flushed Away, Arthur Christmas, and Early Man.
 * 2) They've made some bad shows like Chop Socky Chooks.
 * 3) All the sets, props and models pre-Were Rabbit were lost in a fire.
