Renowned British animation studio-cum-distributor Aardman announced the launch of its newest IP The Very Small Creatures, a series for one-three year-olds. The episodes of the 20×3″ colourful and characterful stop motion show are now available on Sky Kids.
The Very Small Creatures, the first spin-off series from the studio’s hugely popular Morph series, follows the adventures of five, toddler-like clay creatures who explore a child’s play area when no one’s around – learning about their physical world, themselves and each other.
This work of animation is a series directorial debut for Aardman talent Lucy Izzard who is an animator and director.
“I’m delighted to be able to share my five new besties with you today. I hope these colourful characters thrill, excite and entertain a whole new host of very small people, as they watch The Very Small Creatures leap, bounce and ‘bottom-pop’ around their screens with all the joyous fun that curiosity brings,” Izzard said.
“You don’t have to be a child to find Aardman’s incredible stop motion animations truly enchanting. It’s been a real privilege to work with Director Lucy Izzard, whose unique creative vision for The Very Small Creatures is sure to delight the whole family this festive season,” said UK & ROI at Sky and Kids content director Lucy Murphy.
A bonus Christmas episode A Very Small Christmas will also be part of a Sky Kids Christmas Favourites compilation on Sky Showcase and will be available on Sky Kids on Demand and NOW from 19 December.
The Very Small Creatures is available on Sky Kids and NOW in territories including the UK, Germany and Italy.
