Truckers is a British stop motion animated series, an adaptation of the first book of Terry Pratchett's The Nome Trilogy, produced in the United Kingdom by Cosgrove Hall Productions for TV, then released on VHS, though edited together into a feature-length film.[1] The series consisted of 13 ten-minute episodes.[2][3][4]
The series is loosely based on the concept of ancient astronauts. Two different groups of Nomes living on the planet Earth meet and they have different cultures. But one Nome finds out that all Nomes are descendants of extraterrestrial explorers who crash-landed on Earth thousands of years ago. He uses the help of a sentient computer to evacuate the other group of Nomes from their doomed home.
