Thank goodness that stop motion is still a thing.

While Laika Pictures has been blowing our minds with films like Coraline and Kubo and the Two String, the standard bearer for modern day stop motion has been Aardman Animation, best known for the Wallace and Gromit series of shorts.

They struck gold last year with the release of the Shaun the Sheep film, and early next year will return with an original property - Early Man.

Looking like a silly caveman romp, filled with British actors you know and love like Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, Maisie Williams and others, this will be a great way to kick off the year. Check out the teaser trailer below.
