The Hollywood Reporter caught up with
Wallace and Gromit creator and director Nick Park, who revealed that he's developing a new project for the loveable oddballs, however, he thinks he's a little too long in the tooth to helm another feature-length film.
"
I think having just reached (age) 60, you sort of start to think how much can I do, you know? And I've got so many ideas, and feature films just take so long. So, I'm not saying 'no' but at the moment, a half hour seems far more attractive I must say," said Park, while revealing that his last stop-motion feature,
Early Man, took five years to complete.
Instead, Park wants to return to his short-film roots, which was the format of the very first
Wallace and Gromit project,
A Grand Day Out which was released in 1990 and went on to earn an Academy-nomination for Best Animated Short Film. Park is cleary excited about returning to the Aardman Animations flagship title as THR noted his enthusiasm, "
I feel I'm onto a good idea, and I can't give too much away because it would spoil it really, but it's Wallace & Gromit up to their old antics.”
