Giant LEGO Gromit Unleashed In Bristol

The LEGO Group has joined force with Aardman Animations for their charity trail ‘Gromit Unleashed 2’. A number of well known brands and artists have all created a very special large-scale Gromit statue. These are then placed around Bristol and have been created to raise money for Aardman’s charity drive, to raise money for Bristol Children’s Hospital. LEGO® Gromit has been created from an incredible 30,456 LEGO bricks and took over 120 hours to assemble. To track down Gromit and other Gromit’s check out the Grand Appeal website.

GROMIT UNLEASHED 2 MEETS LEGO!

We are delighted to announce that we have collaborated with a whole host of international and iconic brands for Gromit Unleashed 2!

The first sculpture to be revealed is ‘Cracking Build Gromit!’ engineered by the creative minds at LEGO Group! Hand built by expert LEGO® Model Builders, the Gromit sculpture was created from an incredible 30,456 LEGO bricks and took over 120 hours to build.

Transporting trail visitors to another galaxy are Paramount Pictures with their Star Trek-themed sculpture, whilst animation heroes Pixar Animation Studios are lending their signature creativity to a sculpture of their own. Going for gold are the creative teams at Illumination, who are bringing their internationally loved Minions from Universal and Illumination’s record-setting Despicable Me franchise to a sculpture, whilst Spin Master Entertainment will make trail visitors ‘paws’ with their take on one of the characters from children’s favourite TV show PAW Patrol, broadcast on Nick Jr.

Also joining the trail are treasured classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang from EON Productions, family-favourite Swallows & Amazons from STUDIOCANAL and director and screen writer Wes Anderson, providing Gromit with an Isle of Dogs makeover.

We are absolutely thrilled that we have such a fantastic array of international creative talent joining our trailblazers and local artists in Bristol this summer in aid of Bristol Children’s Hospital.  The sculptures will also be auctioned to raise money for Bristol Children’s Hospital to help us continue to provide pioneering equipment, life-saving facilities and patient and family comforts for the 100,000 young patients that are treated there each.
