Aardman and BBC return to Mossy Bottom with brand new animated series, 'Let's Go Timmy!'

Aardman has announced today, at Annecy International Film Festival, a newly commissioned stop-motion and 2D animated series, Let’s Go Timmy!

The 30 x 5 minutes episodes are set in the familiar world of Mossy Bottom and sees Bitzer the sheep dog tasked with getting Timmy and his two best friends, Yabba and Apricot, to Mossy Bottom School safe and on time each morning! Like all excitable children Timmy and the gang are curious, full of energy, and every morning turns into a surrealist escapade as they veer off-course turning the school run into an adventure. Thankfully Bitzer, the long-suffering and faithful chaperone always manages to get to them to the school gates in the nick of time.

Let’s Go Timmy! sees Aardman blend two distinct animation styles: its signature stop-motion animation combines with dynamic 2D animation which serves to highlight the fantastical worlds of Timmy’s, Yabba’s and Apricot’s imagination.

The series has been directed by Merlin Crossingham and Daniel Bins and produced by Stephanie Miller with Lucy Pryke, the Commissioning Executive for the BBC.

Sarah Cox, Executive Creative Director at Aardman said: "In this series, we celebrate the joy of the dawdle and the dally as we see Bitzer in a whole new comedic light, steering Timmy and friends to school on time, but often getting drawn into the wonder of the natural world and the power of imagination himself. We are so proud of this glorious expansion of the Mossy Bottom world and the combined talents of the team are creating something truly heartwarming, funny and an absolute visual delight."

Kate Morton, Senior Head of Commissioning for CBeebies said: "Returning to Mossy Bottom with Let’s Go Timmy! brings a wonderful opportunity to expand a world that’s already cherished by young audiences. It is a joyful, visually rich addition that reflects CBeebies’ hallmark: high-quality, homegrown storytelling that is both engaging and supports early years development. The series captures the humour, warmth and boundless imagination that defines Aardman’s storytelling, while introducing a playful new dynamic with Bitzer at the helm."

Let’s Go Timmy! will air on the BBC in 2027 and builds on the popular Mossy Bottom franchise already populated by Timmy Time and Shaun the Sheep and targets a 3- to 5-year-old audience.
