Links in "Selected Aardman productions"
It looks like the majority of links in the section "Selected Aardman productions" point to either nonexistent articles or to articles that have nothing to do with the films themselves (for instance, "Adam"). I'd like to go through the list and remove and/or fix the links, but I don't want to perform such a major overhaul without community consensus. What do the rest of you think? -Wayne Miller 21:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm in favour of deleting most, if not all, that don't have their own wikipedia article. I don't think a (near-)exhaustive list is necessary, as I think it ignores WP:NOT point 3 (being a directory of Aardman productions). AlmostReadytoFly 19:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Removed content from "Selected productions"
The following content has been removed from the list. I found no source for these, and they were all redlinks or false links. Most of the remaining titles are to be found on aardman.com's "History" page. Of these, the redlinks are mentioned on aardman.com as having won an award.

Warehouse Repairs
Anyone got a reference for the warehouse being repaired? I work next door, and it doesn't look very repaired to me (it still has no roof, for a start). GoldenRing (talk) 12:28, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Serta Sheep commercials
Didn't Aardman also do the counting sheep commercials for Serta? Captain Packrat (talk) 16:14, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

"Successfully"?
The lead claims that Aardman "successfully" entered the CG animation market with Flushed Away, suggesting it was a critical and financial success. However, from the budget/box office, and taking into account the cut taken by the theatres, it looks like it actually lost a lot of money. Also, its critical evaluation, while good, was not nearly as strong as the previous two films. I can't think of a better way to word it, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.30.133.31 (talk) 17:41, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Is the article about Aardman Studios correct?
It turns out not.When I read the article,at the Flushed Away part,I remembered back to when I was in North Carolina,in Aulander,watching a featurette which shows how to make a slug out of Plasticine clay and other household objects.I then thought,"Man,they're lying about that!"And that's what I still think,well,sometimes,when I had seen the behind-the-scenes featurette,at the part with the slug,it turned out I was wrong!It was CG all along!Sunjerbob (talk) 18:39, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Should we put down the UK gross for the films — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.167.114 (talk) 12:42, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

The 1990s films
Why can't we find the specific release dates for Owzat, Al Dente and Minotaur and Little Nerkin? --TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 15:41, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
