Pokémon, Aardman Animation Team for Mystery Project

The Pokémon Company are teaming up with stop-motion animation studio Aardman for a new mystery collaboration.

Billed only as a “special project,” it is set to be released in 2027.

It is unclear whether it will be a feature film, series or something else entirely but promises that Aardman will bring “their unique style of storytelling to the Pokémon universe in brand-new adventures.”

There is no word as to where the new project will be made available but both The Pokémon Company and Aardman have deals with Netflix.

Last year, “Pokemon Concierge,” a unique stop-motion series from The Pokemon Company, premiered on the streamer, which is also the exclusive distributor for CGI animated series “Pokemon Horizons” outside of Japan.

Netflix and Aardman have also collaborated on a number of projects, including last year’s “Chicken Run” sequel “Dawn of the Nugget.”
