| Morph |
|
Tony Says: Morph has become a star in his own right now and despite rumours of his demise in the Aardman fire he is very much alive having escaped on his scrambler bike (with Chas on the back) soon after the fire broke out. His 'clones' were not so fortunate. He is presently soaking up the orbituaries page. The rest of the year he is either filming, backpacking in Scotland with Chas (determined to see Nessie - so he says), or signing autographs (very small ones). Actually I think all this fame may have gone to his head - I shall have words... Tony |
Morph made his first appearance in "Take Hart". Peter Lord and David Sproxton - then a little-known Bristol company - invented Morph, and later Morph's pale friend Chas (pronounced "Chaz") arrived to keep Morph company. Peter and David had already established themselves with their very first creation called Aardman (later to become the name of their company) in the "Vision On" programme. Tony Hart later featured in "The Amazing Adventures of Morph" made by Aardman for the BBC. Peter and David's fame grew with a series called 'Conversation Pieces' which used real pieces of conversation which they set to animations of animals. They met Nick Park when he was a student and together, they went on to create Oscar winning classics like 'Creature Comforts', 'Wallace & Grommit', more recently "Chicken Run". |
