Great, catastrophic news for Wallace and Gromit

Just after the numbers came in declaring Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit tops at the box office taking in $16.1 million, disaster struck when the warehouse containing sets and props from all of the previous features was destroyed in a fire. Also lost were items from their first feature-length release, Chicken Run. “Today was supposed to be a day of celebration, with the news that ‘Wallace and Gromit’ had gone in at No. 1 at the U.S. box office, but instead our whole history has been wiped out,” a spokesman said.
