Wile E. Coyote & The Road Runner or Tom & Jerry, never tire of those. And Max Fleischer's weird stuff is unbeatable, Popeye, etc. Stop-motion animation is another great passion of mine, really cherish this particular quirky art form. The Czechs are the old masters; Jiri Trnka, Karel Zeman or Jan Svankmajer to name three.

The Art of Smallfilms - The Work of Oliver Postgate & Peter Firmin

Just spotted this wonderful looking book on Oliver Postgate which has jumped to the head of my wish list,looks pretty fab.

Working from a barn in Kent, Postgate and Firmin produced some of the best-loved children's television of the 1960s and 1970s, including Bagpuss, The Clangers, Ivor The Engine and Noggin The Nog. This book presents the Smallfilms archive - the puppets and cut-outs from these series, along with insights into how they were made. It's a book full of pipe cleaners, cotton wool, wire and ping-pong balls, and celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of two artists who shaped the childhoods of a generation. Introduction by Jonny Trunk, Foreword by Stewart Lee: 'Jonny Trunk has taken the astonishingly thorough archive of Smallfilms… and presented it as one would a collection of artefacts in an exhibition detailing some much-admired 20th century art movement, like Fluxus or Dada. The Smallfilms' partnership's sacred relics repay his trust, and our repeated viewings.' Stewart Lee
