We just lost a legendary animator today 😔 Some animators bring characters to life. Loyd Price helped shape entire worlds that generations grew up loving. 🕊️ Aardman animations has announced the passing of Loyd Price, a gifted animator, mentor and longtime creative force who dedicated more than 30 years to the studio. Over the decades, Price rose to become Aardman’s Head of Animation, helping guide both the performances audiences saw on screen and the generations of animators who followed him. His career stretched across some of stop-motion animation’s most beloved films, including: - Chicken Run — Supervising animator - Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit — Supervising animator - The Nightmare Before Christmas — Animator - Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave — Animator - Wallace & Gromit’s Cracking Contraptions — Co-director and writer - Shaun the Sheep Movie — Animation supervisor - A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon — Animation supervisor - The Pirates! Band of Misfits — Animation supervisor - Early Man — Animation supervisor - Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death — Animator - Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget — Animation supervisor On The Curse of the Were-Rabbit alone, Price led a team of 30 animators, helping bring Wallace, Gromit and an entire cast of characters to life frame by painstaking frame. His work as supervising animator also helped shape Chicken Run, while his career connected Aardman’s classic shorts to its modern feature-film era. Stop-motion is built one tiny movement at a time. Loyd Price spent decades making those movements feel alive, and teaching others how to do the same. The characters will keep moving. His influence will keep moving with them. Rest in paradise, Loyd Price. 🤍

We say goodbye to another legend today 😔 For nearly two decades, generations heard Tony Canal every time Winnie the Pooh spoke. Now, that familiar voice has gone silent. Veteran actor and Castilian Spanish voice performer Tony Canal has passed away at 90, after a remarkable career spanning more than 60 years across television, film, theater and dubbing. Canal became the Castilian Spanish voice of Winnie the Pooh for around 20 years, carrying the character through numerous films, series and even video games. He returned as Pooh for Disney’s Christopher Robin in 2018. But there was much more behind that gentle voice: - Winnie the Pooh – Winnie the Pooh - Christopher Robin – Winnie the Pooh - The Jungle Book 2 – Kaa - Family Guy – Mayor Adam West - Kingdom Hearts II – Winnie the Pooh - Kinect: Disneyland Adventures – Winnie the Pooh - House of Mouse – Goat Man / Hombre Cabra - Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure — Scratchy - South Park — Randy Marsh - Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers — Chief of the Tail Clan and many more! Some performers are remembered by their faces. Tony Canal will also be remembered by a voice that made the Hundred Acre Wood feel like home. Rest in paradise, Tony Canal 🕊️
