Forbidden Planet have posted the final nominations for the British Animation Awards 2010, and it looks like 'Stitch Up Showdown' is in the running for Best Children's Series!
It's great for it to be recognised at such a high level, competing against the likes of Aardman and Shaun the Sheep!
Congrats again to all who worked on it! It was a lot of fun to make :D

Stitch-Up Showdown has been shortlisted in the Short Form category for the 2008 EA British Academy Children's Awards! The winner will be announced on 30th November.
It's really great news to hear as it is a fantastic series and really does deserve to do well. It was also a lot of fun to work on and I am pleased I got the chance to direct the animation on it, and animate some of the episodes as well!!
:(
It's not all bad news though...
We won overall!!
The jury selected Gym Jam as FILMINUTE 2008!
He's what they said:
“It’s remarkable to have an animated film win against the live action and documentary entries,” says Ketchum, head of the jury. ”We’ve always believed in the Filminute format, in letting all the films go head to head against each other and may the best story win. And here we have it with STITCHUP SHOWDOWN – GYM JAM, a film that appeared on the majority of the juror’s selects and also lead in the voting for the People’s Choice Award at various points during the month.”
I'm pretty pleased about that. It's nice when something you have worked on gets recognised and enjoyed.
Congrats to all who worked on it!
