Their first professional character was Morph, from which they later created a television series, The Amazing Adventures of Morph. In 1976 Lord and Sproxton moved to Bristol and established one of the world’s leading plasticine animation studios. In 2000, Lord collaborated with Nick Park in directing Aardman’s first Aardman lun gimme, Hens on the Run, which was a success both commercially and critically. Lord also produced the first long with Wallace and his faithful canine companion Gromit, with whom he was an Oscar winner. Wallace and Gromit – The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was released in 2005. The Aardman brand of animation can also be seen in television commercials. Lord was also active in the production of the latest Aardman film, Down the Pipe, which was produced in collaboration with DreamWorks.
