A series of Aardman claymation shorts called "Rex, the Runt" is being shopped to US media outlets as a 13-episode series. The claymation program stars a dog, Rex, and his companions as they explore outer space, inner earth, and their own brains. More info on Yahoo.

If you like completely bizarre (almost Pythonesque, at times) humor, this'll appeal to you. The claymation is not quite "Chicken Run" or "Wallace and Gromit", because despite being 3-dimensional clay characters, they're also flat. Very strange.
It features regular voice cameos by a number of (mainly UK market) celebrities and a totally mad-cap little theme tune.
The best character, IMHO, is Vince, a tiny, insane, orange doggie character with one eye far bigger than the other who pops up on the screen usually to say little more than "Spaghetti!" or to erupt in a burst of operatic singing.
The Rex homepage has pics, details and a short trailer clip.
