Fire hits Wallace and Gromit sets

Company spokesman: “Everything has gone, from as far back as Morph and all the way through to Chicken Run, including all the Wallace and Gromit films, Creature Comforts, it’s all there. Everyone is devastated.”

Nick Park said: “Even though its precious stuff and nostalgic – and its dreadful news for the company, in the light of other tragedies it’s not a big deal.”
