- Chris Sadler (b. 1970) is an award-winning British Animator director who works with Aardman Animations. He has worked on Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, Rex the Runt, Cracking Contraptions, Creature Comforts and Shaun the Sheep. He completed his secondary education at Codsall High School, Staffordshire, United Kingdom, leaving in 1989 having passed four A levels. He then joined a one year art and design foundation course at Stafford College before moving to Bristol and embarking on a Graphic Design degree at University of the West of England. Although he originally focused on illustration, Sadler later turned his hand to stop motion animation. He graduated in 1993. He began his professional career as a freelance model/set builder before returning to animation. During the 1990's he worked for various film production companies including Bolex Brothers and Elm Road Studios in Bristol, Aaagh Animations in Cardiff and Gnome Productions in Wellington, New Zealand. He first worked for Aardman Animations in 1994 as a collaborator animating commercials and the pilot episode for Richard Goleszowski’s 'Rex the Runt' series. This lead to him being given his first chance to direct when the second series went into production in 2001. In 1999 he was a member of the animation team on 'Robbie the Reindeer' for the BBC, his last independent production outside Aardman. He became a full-time Aardman staff member in 2001 and has enjoyed several roles including writer, animator and director on episodes of 'Cracking Contraptions' and key animator on their feature film productions. He joined the 'Shaun the Sheep' team in late 2005, helping to develop the look and animation style of the series and was director of ten episodes. He was made series director for the second series of forty episodes, due for completion late 2009.
