Back in September of last year, Aardman and Nokia teamed up to make the World’s Smallest Stop-motion Animated Character, and it turned out to be a very big deal.

Their latest collaboration is about scale again, but in the other direction. Gulp, which was directed by Aardman’s Ed Patterson and Will Studd, has set the record for the World’s Largest Stop-motion Animation Set, all shot on Nokia phones.
