New stop-motion Pingu TV show to be developed by Mattel and Aardman animation studio
Mattel, which acquired the penguin character in 2011, will co-develop a new stop-motion 3D animated Pingu TV show with Aardman, the animation company which created Wallace And Gromit and Chicken Run. The decision to partner with Aardman was a no-brainer, Mattel chief franchise officer Josh Silverman said.
