London Resort: Aardman Animations and Resort

london resort: The theme park project, which has been beset by delays and was originally expected to open this year, started with a tie-up with Paramount Pictures, the Hollywood studio behind blockbusters such as Mission Impossible, Star Trek, Transformers and The Godfather, according to The Independent. However, Paramount, which lent its name to the resort, pulled out in 2017. In 2015, Aardman Animations struck a deal with the company behind the development in Kent, known as the London Resort to potentially turn its characters into themed rides and attractions. London Resort's memorandum of understanding with Aardman Animations said the deal would bring a number of the nation's favourite characters to the resort and introduce them to a whole new international audience . However, a spokeswoman for Aardman told the Guardian the company is no longer involved with this project . A spokesman for London Resort Company Holdings said The partnerships are under continuous review and when the agreement with Aardman expired both parties decided not to renew the partnership. Thunderbirds returned to TV in 2015 five decades after Gerry Anderson's supermarionation puppets first appeared on ITV. The BBC signed a similar deal in 2014, which could lead to attractions based on shows from Doctor Who to Top Gear. On Monday, ITV struck a deal to turn children'sshows, led by animated series Thunderbirds Are Go, into attractions at the theme park. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
