Pokémon meets Wallace and Gromit in upcoming project

Somehow being both a match made in heaven and an incredibly surprising collaboration, The Pokémon Company and Aardman have announced a new project that’s set to debut at some point during 2027—and fans are already ecstatic about what this animated gem could look like.

Announced via an official Pokémon press release on Dec. 11, the collaboration is described as being a “special project” that’ll combine Aardman’s storytelling flair and talents with the Pokémon universe’s beloved characters to create exciting new adventures for fans to dive into. Aardman Animations is the studio behind legendary characters like Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, and Morph, so this promises to be an exceptional take on the Pokémon world.
