NOoooooooooo!!!

He was a huge part of my childhood and I made sure he was included in Limpit's too... Pogles Wood, Ivor the Engine and the Clangers being the favourites.

Small Films left a huge legacy, and the dross that is produced these days pales into insignificance. They fostered the idea that aliens on other planets are not humanoid or speak English, they encouraged imagination and flights of fantasy, generations of children wondering if their toys came alive and played folk music, or if there really was a red and white stripped squirrel living in the hedgerow with a family of pixies? The tales were simple, clear, inoffensive and moralistic without being preachy or pushy, the animation simple and effective.

A sad sad loss to children of all ages.
