Rob Goodchild, Licensing Manager at Aardman Animations, said, “We are delighted with this brilliant new offering from D3. Our in-house creative team have collaborated closely with D3’s development team to create a fantastically farcical storyline, which really captures the essence and, above all, the humour of the show.
