Introducing the Pearce Sisters – the stars of Aardman’s new short
Aardman Animation, the production company behind the hugely successful Wallace & Gromit films and the ever brilliant Creature Comforts (amongst many other things) sent a preview copy of their latest film which showcases a very different style of animation to that which Aardman fans might expect.
The new short, entitled The Pearce Sisters, tells the black-hearted tale of two weather-beaten old spinsters who live on a remote strip of coast and eke out a rather dismal existence from catching and smoking fish. One day they heave a half-drowned sailor out of the sea and set about reviving him – but when he fails to appreciate their efforts, a dark and grim aspect of the sister’s way of life is revealed…
The film will be showing at various film festivals over the summer, including Annecy, Soho Shorts and Encounters.
Now time to view the motion. For more info click here

The Pearce Sisters – brilliant!
How do you get so much in 10mins? Humour, relationships, atmosphere, . … it has them all. We have been discussing the film ever since we saw it and keep thinking of new angles.
The art work was excellent with such detail – where can you buy some?
