First, Unicef bombs the Smurfs into oblivion. Poor things are just dancing around the village on a nice, sunny day when the bombers show up and annihilate the whole village. Good times.
Next, Wallace and Grommit perish in a warehouse fire. Actually, the entire history of Aardman Animations was destroyed. All the sets and characters from all their work, including Chicken Run and all the Wallace and Grommit shorts, were completely destroyed.
Sucks to be an animated character lately, it seems.
