Aardman’s Animate It app lets you create your own stop-motion animation videos

Beloved British studio Aardman has launched a new iOS app called Animate It that lets anyone create their own stop-motion animations on the go.

While Aardman is best known for Wallace & Gromit outside of the UK, the app brings back another of its cult heroes: clay character Morph, which also stars in the intro video the studio released today:

Not only is this a very cute video, but it is also a good example of what you could do with Animate It, as Aardman used its own app to create their trailer.

The app is a mobile version of Aardman’s piece of software Animate It, which the studio developed in partnership with Kudlian Software, following the launch of its dedicated website and Facebook page last March.
