Private Notes
How animation conveyed government propaganda in an entertaining package - selling WWII and the welfare state. Following the birth of commercial TV, cartoon characters were enlisted to sell household items.
The irreverent side of animation came through in the trippy delights of Yellow Submarine, counter-culture classics like Monty Python's Flying Circus and dark modern visions such as Monkey Dust.
Magical worlds created by animators have had a huge influence on generations of children. Includes clips from programmes like Noggin the Nog, Bagpuss, The Wombles and Wallace and Gromit.
