Wallace & Gromit creator Aardman has denied that it has had a close shave with its clay stock.
On Monday afternoon, the iconic British animation studio issued a statement denying that it is running out of materials to make future projects.
It follows The Daily Telegraph reporting that Aardman only had enough modeling clay for one more Wallace & Gromit film after its main supplier, Newclay Products, shut up shop in March.
Aardman said it was “touched” by the concern over its future, but stressed that there was no need to worry because it has plans in place for a “smooth transition” to a new supplier.
Aardman premiered its most recent creation, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, on Netflix last month. The film was a sequel to 2000’s Chicken Run.
Aardman’s other creations include Shaun the Sheep and Morph.
