Aardman

Peter Lord and David Sproxton are the founders of Aardman Animation in 1972.  They known eahc other since school when they was practising animating using a 16mm camera. Using cell animation they then created a short film called 'Aardman' this was sold to the BBC in 1972. They created a an animated character called 'Morph' which first appeared in 1976. After 'The Amazing Adventures of Morph' was aired in 1981.

Both animators thinking they needed a bigger target audience for their shows instead of just children. This is when they created 'Down and out' and 'Confessions of a Foyer girl'. Both their luck was reduced when the BBC rejected both shows. The BBC thought it would ruin Aardmans reputation.

After they both worked on a new show called 'Creature Comforts' where they animated different animals and interviewed thousands of people about different propositions. They then create the animation using the speech from a person and synced it into the animation.
