New stuff to come from Aardman

This is a story that has something for everyone at ComicMix.  According to Variety, Aardman Feataures (creators of Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, and currently part of Sony) has announced a bunch of new features.

Life on Mars fans will be psyched to hear that writers Matthew Graham and Aashley Pharoah are penning The Cat Burglars.  Described by Variety as a film about "milk-thieving stray cats," it will be directed by Steve Box in the stop-motion sculpture style us hard-core animation buffs love.

Also, Peter Lord will direct a comedy based on the Pirate series by Gideon Defoe.  Lord gave us Chicken Run, maybe the last time Mel Gibson was any fun.

Peter Banham is wowrking on Operation Rudolph, a Christmas movie.  He’s one of the writers of Borat.  We’re psyched.
