Aardman Animates Greenpeace's New Campaign on Marine Conservation

Greenpeace has launched a new animated short film, 'Tartarughe in viaggio' (Turtles in Travel), created by Aardman Animations, the studio behind Wallace and Gromit. The film follows a sea turtle family's perilous journey home, highlighting threats from plastic pollution, oil drilling, and destructive fishing practices. Voiced in Italian by singer Giorgia and Giancarlo Nannini (original voices: Olivia Colman and Helen Mirren), the short aims to foster empathy and spur action for marine ecosystems. Concurrently, Greenpeace released the report 'Turtles Under Threat,' detailing how climate change nearly doubles the time turtles need to reach feeding grounds, further jeopardizing reproduction. This campaign continues Greenpeace's tradition of evocative communication, following past efforts like the 2016 Arctic defense featuring Ludovico Einaudi and the 2018 animated short 'Rang-Tan.' Aardman, founded in 1972, is renowned for claymation works such as 'Chicken Run,' 'Flushed Away,' and the 'Wallace and Gromit' series, and recently developed the video game '11-11: Memories Retold.'
