    ( Jul. 25th, 2010 09:34 pm)
    Cartoon Museum, Little Russell Street, London

    Toy Tales features some of the most popular animated children’s programmes produced in Britain over the last fifty years. Watched by generations of children - and adults – these animated characters retain the power to entertain and enchant long after they first appeared.

    The exhibition has something for children and parents alike. There are over 100 items on show including drawn backgrounds and cut-outs, models, posters, animation cels and even a Clangers set. It provides insights into the creative process of animation including scripts, storyboards, preparatory drawings, animators’ notes and ‘animatics’ [early versions] as well as clips from the various films.

    More here: http://www.cartoonmuseum.org/



    Anyone who saw the two Canterbury Clangers/Postgate restrospectives will be familiar with the Smallfilms stuff - Clangers set, the Bagpuss, (but did you know Prof Yaffle was part inspired by G.D.H. Cole and part by Bertrand Russell?), backgrounds for Ivor the Engine, Noggin the Nog, etc. Plus Roobarb and Custard, Wallace and Gromit, The Snowman, Famous Fred, Bob the Builder and something called Pepa Pig

    Plus:
    Making Things: An Evening with Peter Firmin
    Wednesday 1st Septemeber 6.30-7.30, 020 75808155 Adults £5, Concessions £4.

    I've let this get a little out of date - I need to check various places again. I have a Google Calendar which I can give people access to.

    Check with venue before travelling - exhibitions get cancelled or renamed. I cannot speak to cost of entry but recommend joining the Art Fund.

    These are sorted by order of closure - it's a see now before it shuts aide memoire. Red items are running now. Starred events are ones I really want to see.
