May Naidoo X Aardman Auction
Some very familiar faces are going under the hammer. May teamed up with Propstore and Aardman to spotlight a special auction celebrating 50 years of the legendary British animation studio.
The auction features an extraordinary collection of original Aardman puppets and memorabilia, giving fans the opportunity to own pieces connected to some of Britain’s most beloved animated characters.
May got an up-close look at the collection, including original puppets from the worlds of Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. Among them was one particularly recognisable face: the unmistakable Feathers McGraw, the villainous penguin who has become an icon in his own right.
The collaboration gave May the chance to explore the incredible craftsmanship behind Aardman’s stop-motion animation while showcasing pieces that have played a part in bringing its characters and stories to life.
For an entertainment and pop culture creator like May, it was a brilliant opportunity to celebrate five decades of British animation history and share a closer look at the creativity behind Aardman’s enduring legacy.
