Aardman and Sky Kids have expanded the hit Morph<\/em> brand with the launch of The Very Small Creatures\u00a0<\/em>season two and the Sky Live game Morph Thingy-Ma-Bobstacle Course<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Very Small Creatures<\/em> season two continues to follow the adventures of toddler-like clay creatures as they explore a child\u2019s playroom. The new Morph<\/em> game uses Sky Live\u2019s AI-powered body tracking and gesture control to physically direct Morph along a series of obstacle courses.<\/p>\n

The game is designed to be playable by everyone in the family. It was produced by Aardman\u2019s in-house Games and Interactive team.<\/p>\n

The launch of season two and the game coincide with a Morph<\/em> sculpture trail in central London, featuring 56 super-sized Morph figures painted by a variety of celebrities and artists, including Tom Fletcher, Ade Adepitan and Martin Dougan. The trail has been on by Whizz Kids and will run until August 20, when the sculptures will be auctioned off to raise money for the charity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to be back in the world of The Very Small Creatures<\/em> for more fun with our five colorful friends,\u201d said Lucy Izzard, director of The Very Small Creatures<\/em> for Aardman. \u201cFor series two, we get to know each character a little bit more as they squish, yodel, meow and doodle their way across our screens. We\u2019ve got trips to space, train rides, dance routines, more cute outfits and epic ice-skating scenes! With the intoxicating toddler laughter throughout, I hope the giggles on screen encourage giggles from very small people at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lucy Murphy, director of kids\u2019 content at Sky UK, said, \u201cWe know how much families and kids love The Very Small Creatures<\/em>, so we are thrilled to launch series two on our Sky Kids channel and on demand. The creativity and joy Aardman bring to every aspect of this series makes it must watch for kids of any age and adults too!\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy continued, \u201cThe recent launch of Sky Live provides families the opportunity to get fully immersed in their favorite shows and characters. The new Morph<\/em> game gives so much opportunity for families to be active and have fun together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gavin Strange, creative director for Morph Thingy-Ma-Bobstacle Course<\/em> at Aardman, added, \u201cWe\u2019re always super excited about bringing our characters to life on new platforms and offering exciting ways for people to interact with their favorite Aardman creations! It was such a joy translating the stop-motion tactility that people love about Morph<\/em> into a real-time game engine. In Morph Thingy-Ma-Bobstacle Course<\/em>, we\u2019ve brought together brand-new tech with that classic claymation style for a hands-on fun-filled Morph<\/em> game. Cheered on by The Very Small Creatures<\/em> and antagonised by Chas, we hope that families enjoy dodging, dipping and racing along with Morph from the comfort of their homes!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
