Hi All,
I’m really happy to tell you that last night the Tate Movie Project won the BAFTA in the ’Interactive’ category in this year’s Children’s Awards! It beat Moshi Monsters, The Land of Me and CBBC Hacker & Dodge Pup Stars.
Look!
Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on it at Tate, Aardman and Fallon and A SPECIAL SUPER THANKS to the 30,000 of you who have been involved. WELL DONE ALL!

Amazing news, Tate Kiddies, Amazing news!
I can now share with you details of the Tate Movie Project (link to TMP). Ready?
The film, that many of you have been working hard on, is called
The Itch of the Golden Nit.
Evil Stella drawn by Ayomide Jawoniyi, aged 8. YOU GO AYOMIDE!
Beanie will be helped by his mouthy older sister Beryl, who has been shrunk to teeny-tiny doll-size by one of Evil Stella’s electric bubbles.
It’s going to be BRILLIANT and I can’t wait!
Loads of stars from British comedy are going to be doing the voices for us including David Walliams, Miranda Hart, Miriam Margoyles, Catherine Tate, Rik Mayall, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Ralf Little, Lucy Montgomery, Vic Reeves and Alexei Sayle. Phew, that’s a lot of awesome people. Trust me – ask your adults!
There’s also going to be a very glamorous red carpet premiere in London’s Leicester Square on Wednesday 29 June. The film will also be on the BBC this summer AND at screenings at galleries, on big screens during the Olympics, in cities across the UK, and at Vue cinemas nationwide over the August Bank Holiday.
I hope you love it and maybe see you at one of the events…?

Quiet on the set please, people!
Have you noticed the new background on the Tate Kids homepage yet? We’ve made it to celebrate the launch of the Tate Movie Project.
So what’s it all about?
Well, we’re inviting you (if you are between 5-13 and live in the UK) to get creative and help us make an animated movie with Aardman (you know, the Wallace and Grommit people) It will be the first time anything like this has ever happened – so we are beyond excited.
To get involved check out the Tate Movie project website – here you can help create the characters, figure out the storyline, and submit sounds effects too.
We also have The Tate Movie Truck going to 55 places in the UK over the next three months, so keep an eye out for it. You never know – it might be at a school, event or festival near you.
Below are some pics (click on them to see them supersized) taken on the day the project started, Thursday 15 July. Our friend Andy Akinwolere from Blue Peter came to help us celebrate. Any questions about it all, let me know!
