In partnership with the Great British Summer Savings scheme, Vue is also offering discounted tickets for children aged 14 and under.
Aardman Animations has been a staple of British family entertainment since 1989 with the debut of Wallace & Gromit in A Grand Day Out.
The studio’s films have since become classics, known for their blend of humour, warmth, and inventive storytelling.
