Aardman is listing its new releases, library shows and the third-party properties they represent on the marketplace, including Numberblocks, Happy the Hoglet, and the studio’s first in-house CGI series, Lloyd of the Flies.

Other titles listed on Vuulr include popular classics like Aardman’s most-loved Academy Award winning iconic duo in ‘Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers’; multi award winning ‘Shaun the Sheep’ that follows the adventures of a young and clever sheep who leads his flock at a small farm in the countryside; and BAFTA winner ‘Timmy Time’, featuring the littlest lamb in Shaun the Sheep’s flock in his own spin-off series as he heads off to nursery school.

We want to make it easier for platforms who are unable to send representatives to markets, or for those without dedicated kids and family buyers, to access our content around the globe'.

Ian McKee, CEO of Vuulr, said: 'We are delighted to have been chosen by Aardman to present their catalog of their iconic, well-loved and award-winning animation. We look forward to bringing  Aardman’s award winning characters to acquisitions teams globally'.
