"Clay Kings"

Will Vinton Studios: There is absolutely no doubt in our minds that Will Vinton is the 'Godfather' of claymation. His entire production company turned the entire face of clay animation and changed its history permanently.

 

"Current Clay"

Wallace and Gromit: Little did Nick Park, creator of Wallace and Gromit, know that his favorite clay figurines would go on to star in their own features. In face, Wallace, the crackpot inventor, and his dog Gromit have starred in three features and countless small films, making Nick Park and Oscar award winner.

"Clay Festival"

Spike & Mike's: This once small-time animation tour is now world reknown as one of the hottest animation festivals around. Many popular animators display their works here, and clay animation is one of public's favorites.

 

"Clay Breakthrough"

Celebrity Deathmatch: It's everywhere. These fiesty clay superstars are a breakthrough, all right. They would all like to break right through each other's neck! MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch has truly re-opened the doors of clay animation to the world almost single-handedly with this program. Yes, each show has a death count of at least 3+, but whatever gets the ratings, right?
