A documentary all about claymation -- appropriately called Claydream -- is currently in the works and will arrive in theaters this month. Directed by Marq Evans, the doc follows the life of Oscar-winning claymation innovator Will Vinton, who created the California Raisins, Domino Pizza's the Noid, and the M&M characters. Vinton, who died in 2018, also was the claymation director behind 1985's Return To Oz and worked on multiple claymation shorts for Sesame Street. Now, Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock has shared a rendition of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine," which was originally popularized by Marvin Gaye and famously used to soundtrack those '80s California Raisins commercials.
