The collaboration between Aardman and The Pokémon Company is generating a lot of excitement, especially considering Aardman’s iconic stop-motion animation style. This upcoming project, set to release in 2027, is being kept under wraps, but both companies have expressed their enthusiasm for the partnership. Aardman, known for beloved productions like Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, and Shaun the Sheep, will bring their distinctive charm and comedic storytelling to the Pokémon universe.
The project, though mysterious, is expected to be a fresh take on the Pokémon world. Given Aardman’s long track record of high-quality productions, including their upcoming Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (set for release on Netflix in 2025), the collaboration promises to offer something unique. This isn’t the first time Pokémon has explored stop-motion, as the Pokémon Concierge series released in 2023 on Netflix also used this technique, but this marks the first time Aardman will be in charge of the project.
With Aardman’s expertise in creating detailed, heartwarming characters and stories, fans can likely expect a visually captivating and emotionally engaging experience. While we wait until 2027, Pokémon fans can look forward to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which is slated for release in 2025, and the ongoing Pokémon Horizons anime series.
For those unfamiliar with Aardman, watching Chicken Run or Shaun the Sheep will give a good sense of what this collaboration might bring in terms of style and humor. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months!
