For decades, the team at Aardman Animation has proven that it knows the elements of an engaging animated project. Now, the studio behind Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, and Shaun the Sheep is using its expertise to curate a selection of short films from up-and-coming creators. It has launched Aardboiled, a YouTube channel that will serve as a showcase of animated comedy.
At launch, Aardboiled is pulling content from Aardman's back catalog in order to form a foundation of compelling animation. One of the channel's videos, for example, is titled 'The Nipth,' and it's the work of Terry Brain, who spent spent more than 15 years at Aardman before his death in 2016.
Eventually, Aardboiled plans to complement the work of Aardman's in-house team with projects helmed by independent animators. "The channel features a mix of brand new content from well-known creators and exciting new talent along with lesser-known gems from the Aardman back catalogue,...

We salute Terry Brain and Charlie Mills, creators of 1980s children’s stop-motion animated TV series, The Trap Door…
Somewhere in the dark and nasty regions where nobody goes stands an ancient castle. Deep within this dank and uninviting place lives Berk, overworked servant of The Thing Upstairs. But that’s nothing compared to the horrors that lurk beneath the trap door. For there is always something down there, in the dark, waiting to come out…
What was under the trap door? In 1986, a three inch stack of film reel cans forming a makeshift plinth for whatever Plasticine monster was due to spill out of it in that episode. Over the course of forty mini-episodes in the mid-eighties, a legion of skittering demons and tentacled beasts slithered off those reel cans and into the psychedelic polka-dotted castle dungeons where they caused havoc for servant Berk and his disembodied skull companion Boni.

Jokers, circus masters and demonic dolls. Which TV characters terrify you? Den Of Geek asked its writers that very question…
The subconscious is a terrible place; dark, mysterious and peopled by spectres from the past. As a bit of a laugh then, we sent our writers journeying into theirs and asked them to drag out any TV terrors they found lurking in the shadows.
Some television fears had been ensconced there since childhood, others were more recent tenants. Some were morally terrifying; human beings with icy hearts capable of atrocities, others were simply… atrocities.
Join us as we count down in order of terror from the sort-of-creepy to the downright terrifying, the 50 TV characters that, for whatever reason, give our writers chills. It’s by no means an exhaustive list, so feel free to fill in gaps by adding your own peculiar television nightmares below…

LONDON -- Ricky Gervais' book series Flanimals is being made into a primetime stop-motion animation show for ITV, the network's director of entertainment and comedy Paul Jackson said Tuesday. The humorous fantasy creatures that go by the names of Clunge Ambler, Grundit, Puddloflaj and Munty Flumple have proved to be best-sellers on both sides of the Atlantic. They will star in six 30-minute episodes written and narrated by the co-creator and star of The Office and Extras that are expected to be ready to air by the end of next year. The characters will be animated by ex-Aardman Animations pioneers Charles Mills and Terry Brain.
