Bristol is set to welcome an exciting new mural trail that will combine street art and film.
Award-winning animation studio Aardman is collaborating with Netflix and Bristol street art festival Upfest to bring the arts trail to the city's streets.
Aardman is of course responsible for classics such as Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run, but this trail will celebrate its new, festive short animation - Robin Robin.

The film, which will be available to watch on Netflix, marks Aardman’s first collaboration with the global streaming service.
Robin Robin is inspired by specials such as The Snowman and The Gruffalo, which are especially appreciated at Christmas time.
The festive film is a 30-minute stop-frame musical, written and directed by Dan Ojari and Mikey Please, and was created using needle-felting techniques.
The inspiration behind the mural trail in the film's honour came from the desire to acknowledge the local craft and creative community in Bristol.
Artist Alex Lucas was the number one artist on Ojari and Please's wish-list to create the art for the trail, which will feature her adorable interpretation of the film’s characters.
Lucas is painting a number of creations in the Bedminster area with all characters available available to see in person from today (November 23).
A trail map has been created so everyone can find the characters for themselves, kicking off the family fun ahead of its Netflix debut on November 24.
Any mural photos can also be shared to Instagram using the hashtag #RobinRobinBristol for a chance to win a signed, hand-drawn original from Alex Lucas.
