Wow really? Those pictures Zac posted made it look kinda empty. Maybe the building is just gigantic?

At least some of the photos are from the press day when there would be less attendees.

Zac did mention in the other thread that he took those pictures during the business only days when the general public were not allowed in.

In the very first picture from the gallery, I-spy Grommit*. Has Aardman Aniimation surreptitiously taken over Japan as well as the rest of the civilised world? So I have to ask: Forget Miyazaki Hayao or John Lasseter, is Nick Park now officially the Ruler of the Animated Universe?

(*Not to mention a couple of later pictures of a character not a thousand miles distant from Sean the Sheep.)

It is, with a total floor area of almost 2.5 million square feet, they probably only have to section off about a 1/5th of the building for the event.
