The creators of Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep have pulled out of a deal to be part of a £3.2bn theme park touted as a British rival to Disneyland.
On Monday, ITV struck a deal to turn children’s shows, led by animated series Thunderbirds Are Go, into attractions at the theme park.
The south-east of England location was chosen to position the park as a rival to Disneyland Paris.
In 2015, Aardman Animations struck a deal with the company behind the development in Kent, known as the London Resort to potentially turn its characters into themed rides and attractions.
