Confirming earlier rumors, Ubisoft has announced that it has partnered up with Aardman to create short films based upon the Rabbids brand. The British animation studio is responsible for Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep.
“The not-so-subtle humour of the Rabbids has made them into icons in and beyond video games,” said Ubisoft’s French studios MD Xavier Poix. “Aardman perfectly understands that humour and we are extremely excited to be working with them to bring the Rabbids to a new medium and a new audience.”
“When the opportunity arose to work with Ubisoft on the Rabbids we leapt at it, we absolutely love the characters and can t wait to help bring them to a television audience,” added Aardman head of broadcast Miles Bullough.
