YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFor decades, the animators behind “Chicken Run” and “Wallace & Gromit” have used a very specific type of clay. It’s pliable enough to reshape for months, but firm enough not to melt or crack under studio lights.

The Journal’s video goes inside the legendary film studio to show how it raced to save its beloved clay.
