Aardman Animations (partially found stop-motion commercials from British animation studio; 1980s-2010s)
From The Lost Media Wiki
Aardman Animations have been making many advertisements ever since their Enterprise Computers ad back in 1984, spanning many well-known brands such as Dairylea, LEGO, Chewits, Chevron, Walkers and so on. But there is even more of their advert work that remains lost online.

Trivia
- There seemed to be five privated uploads at the end of a now-defunct Aardman's commercials playlist[17] for whatever reason.
- Storyboarding and design were made for an advertisement for John Smith's lager, but they never got the gig.[18] Perhaps they were among perished documents within the infamous 2005 Aardman's warehouse fire.[19][20]
- There was a BBC documentary series called The Animators that looked at Aardman Animations in the "Kitchen Table Kinema" episode[21], which included the company's advertising, even showing behind the scenes footage of one of their LEGO ads. Sadly, other than the transcript and images are given in the UK Animation blog mentioning it, it has yet to be seen on the internet.
