A fire at a warehouse has destroyed the "entire history" of the animation company that makes Wallace and Gromit.
Firefighters were called to the blaze in Bristol early on Monday morning, but were unable to stop all three floors inside from collapsing.
When the fire was at its worst the flames were 30 metres high. Nobody was in the building when it started.
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, the new Wallace and Gromit film, has just gone to the top of the US box office chart.
Lots of Wallace and Gromit props have been lost.
The creator of Wallace and Gromit, Nick Park, said: "Even though it's precious stuff and nostalgic - and it's dreadful news for the company, in the light of other tragedies it's not a big deal."
Company Spokesman Arthur Sheriff said: "It couldn't have come on a worse day - we were supposed to be celebrating, but instead our history has disappeared in a couple of hours."
