Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Halas & Batchelor were the UK's biggest animation studio and ALSO made Orwell's Animal Farm—so this is literally the same team that gave you communist pig propaganda.

Cultural

This was peak 'industrial public information' era—Britain made hundreds of these shorts to explain modern conveniences to post-war audiences who'd grown up with outdoor pumps.
