Wallace and Gromit Set On Fire
Besides being number one for the weekend box office take, the set that was housed in a warehouse was in flames.
The storage building belonging to Oscar-winning Aardman Animations, contained the company’s “entire history”, a spokesman said.
Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park said it was “dreadful” for the company but comparatively “not a big deal”.
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, the new Wallace and Gromit film, has just gone to the top of the US box office chart.
Company Spokesman Arthur Sheriff said: “It couldn’t have come on a worse day – we were supposed to be celebrating, but instead our history has disappeared in a couple of hours.
Aardman co-founder Dave Sproxton said one of the most important losses was a complete exhibition of the three Wallace and Gromit short films which was recently brought back to the UK after a tour of Japan.
