Really bad news though

Very sad

"Mr Park, who won Oscars for animations such as The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave, said: "Even though its precious stuff and nostalgic - and its dreadful news for the company, in the light of other tragedies it's not a big deal."


Well done that man

And I'd say it's not a disaster, the disaster would be if it had burned half-way through filming Curse, as they'd have all the expenses and none of the means to recuperate it (yeah, insurance, but...) whereas now at least they should have box-office takings.

Sad news though, I hope they get it all sorted.

Wasn't on the end of Southend pier was it

Seriously though must be a horrible feeling to see 30 odd years of work go up in smoke.

Damn shame but as they point out not really that important in the scheme of things.

Not good

You'd expect a storage warehouse to have damn good automatic fire-protection systems really, so surprising they lost everything.

It is a shame from the historic point of view. They used to hold exhibitions of the old sets and figures etc.
