Halas & Batchelor Cartoons: An Animated History

By Paul Wells and Vivien Halas

This richly illustrated book is a part-history, part-tribute, part-critical analysis of the Halas and Batchelor Cartoon Studio, Britain's leading and most influential animation company for over 50 years between 1940-1995. It draws on the archives of the Halas & Batchelor Collection and looks at the key works of the studio, including Animal Farm, Britain's first full-length animated feature; The Tales of Hoffnung, with the legendary Peter Sellers; the cult classics Autobahn, featuring the music of Kraftwerk, and Butterfly Ball, with the works of the Beatles illustrator.
