That was the first short they made, and it's got a bit of a crazy story. Nick Park wanted to make it as a student project during college, but it was taking him so long. Aardman eventually found out about his dillema, his initial plan to make it 40 minutes where they find a fast food restaurant on the moon and chaos ensues with multiple characters, but Aardman said "Buddy, it'll take you 9 more years to make this a reality and we wouldn't even have the budget to make it." So they helped him complete it in 1989, although it didn't earn an oscar surprisingly enough. But it ended up changing Aardman, letting Nick take control over most of their projects, such as Chicken Run, the highest grossing stop-motion animated film ever made, and the reason why the "Best animated feature film award" was created.
