Whether Disney’s picking up of this latest show indicates a partnership that may continue in other ways remains to be seen, but it can be said that, just as previous Aardman animated films have appealed to adults just as much as children, Timmy Time may well end up playing just as well to parents as it will undoubtedly do for their children. Of course, the Bristol-based studio is rightfully famous for Nick Park’s wonderfully inventive duo Wallace & Gromit, in a series of relentlessly entertaining short films that routinely pick up Oscar nominations and wound up with the studio enjoying an ultimately rather short-lived run of feature success with Disney’s rival DreamWorks. A spin off from a spin off, Timmy Time sees Aardman producing their first show specifically for the pre-school audience, premiering on the Disney Channel’s Playhouse Disney programming block today, September 13, 2010. As we wait with baited breath for the next feature-length project to emerge from the UK’s Aardman Animation studios, which will be their first collaboration with new distribution partners Sony, Britain’s answer to Pixar returns to their small screen origins for their latest series.
