Apparently, Aardman Animation is running out of clay. The company that produces the clay ceased operations and they only have enough for one more feature film. Uhhh, why doesn’t Aardman just buy the clay company? Lucasfilm had ILM after all.

Phew! Here's the skinny from Aardman:

We have high levels of existing stocks of modelling clay to service current and future productions and, much like Wallace in his workshop, we have been tinkering away behind the scenes for quite some time with plans in place to ensure a smooth transition to new stocks to continue to make our iconic productions.
