Morph brought back to life on mobile screens

Image00018661.jpeg Morph, the animated character made famous on the British Children's TV show ‘Take Hart', is to make a comeback on mobile screens, reports Netimperative.

"Morph was one of the first creations from Aardman co-founders Peter Lord and David Sproxton nearly 30 years ago. The Bristol-based animation studio is also responsible for Wallace and Gromitand Creature Comforts animations.

Aardman has struck licensing deals with Orange, Vodafone, T-Mobile, O2 and several international operators. Content will include 35 re-edited shorts from the original Morph shows specially designed for mobile phones."

This is the second example I've run across on some sort of star revival on mobile phones. The first was a couple of months ago, with a slain rapper's revival through ringtones.
