The early years of British animation offer a cornucopia of unexpected delights that are little known and rarely seen.

Just this one programme offers jealous stalking dolls, futuristic airships blasted by electric rays, Bolshevik dogs, malevolent morphing shadows, a singing monkey and a dancing fox.

It bridges the silent and early sound era and features a generous helping of early colour film processes – including what might be the world’s earliest surviving animated film in colour.
