For our
sixtieth episode of the
Skwigly Animation Podcast we’re proud to feature an interview from this year’s
Canterbury Anifest in which Skwigly contributor
Neil Whitman meets Peter Firmin of Smallfilms, the production company that brought the UK such timeless classics as
Bagpuss,
The Clangers,
Noggin the Nog and
Ivor the Engine.
Joining Peter is Daniel Postgate, son of the late Smallfilms co-founder
Oliver Postgate who has actively continued and commemorated his
father’s legacy through the recent
Clangers revival, presently in production on its second series.
Also discussed in this episode – the staying power of animated preschool classics, the end of a modern TV animation era as
Adventure Time and
Archer
draw to a close, Disney’s questionable propensity toward ‘live-action’
remakes of their animated features plus a preview of the exciting events
on offer at this year’s forthcoming edition of the
Manchester Animation Festival.
