Aardman To Make 'Tortoise And The Hare'

[Wednesday, January 11th, 2006]
The people behind Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Aardman Animations, are set to revive The Tortoise and the Hare, says Variety.

The story concerns a hare who one day ridiculed a slow-moving tortoise. In response, the tortoise challenged his swift mocker to a race. The hare soon left the tortoise far behind and, confident of winning, he decided to take a nap midway through the course. When he awoke, however, he found that his competitor, crawling slowly but steadily, had already won the race.

The project has previously closed down after a few months in production because of creative problems. Aardman are next working on Flushed Away, its first foray into CG animation.
