It follows The Daily Telegraph reporting that Aardman only had enough modeling clay for one more Wallace & Gromit film after its main supplier, Newclay Products, shut up shop in March.
Aardman said it was “touched” by the concern over its future, but stressed that there was no need to worry because it has plans in place for a “smooth transition” to a new supplier.
