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. 🤍

A U.S. congressman wants to change how we legally “own” video games.
Rep. Ritchie Torres has announced plans to introduce the Power To The Players Act, a bill that would direct the FTC to create rules protecting consumers who buy video games.
The proposal would give players three basic rights:
>The right to own the games they purchase, rather than simply receiving a revocable license
>The right to keep playing games after online servers are shut down, through an offline mode
>The right to transfer or resell games they own
Torres argues that if a company can take a game away simply by shutting down its servers, then the consumer didn’t really buy the game in the first place.
Torres also hopes the legislation could eventually establish a precedent for ownership rights across other parts of the digital economy:
“If you pay for it, you own it.”
Failed screenwriter Ben Shapiro is complete scum and took advantage of Danny Trejo‘s generosity and made it look like he has betrayed the Mexican community.
Danny Trejo is a victim.
Protect Danny Trejo.
