The storming of the Bastille was a farce. The mob killed 94 people on the way in, murdered the governor and pensioners and guards after they had surrendered, and discovered that there were only 7 inmates of which one was an aristocrat suspected of murder and one was an Irishman (both being held at request of their own families). The revolutionaries wished to execute all foreigners and all aristocrats, leaving just 5 prisoners, 4 of which were forgers and one an attempted regicide.
Aardman has had a CG division since the mid-90s. Flushed Away was their first all-CG feature, followed by Arthur Christmas. Pirates! in an Adventure With Scientists was intended to be fully CG but, at the request of Sony, it was changed to stop-motion with extensive CG augmentation.
The fire is irrelevant. That was storage of historical assets. They have never stopped using models, but also entered the CG business as diversification.
Not at all, and that was never a possibility. Aardman has several years’ supply in storage, and is securing an alternative supplier. They even have the capability to manufacture it themselves if they needed to.
Clinton?
