WHAT THEY THINK OF 'CHARLEY' CARTOONS
The critics
EVENING STANDARD
The new colour cartoons by John Halas and Joy Batchelor, which are designed to explain some present-day
problems and their suggested solutions, succeed in being highly amusing and likeable as well. The need tor town planning, the case for the new Health Act —these are tough subjects for entertainment. The fact that the\ are entertaining, while dispensing painless doses of understanding to people who would rather die than read a pamphlet, is the measure of their brilliance.
MANCHESTER GUARDIAN
A good deal of credit should be given to Mr Halas and Miss Batchelor for the facile manner in which they have reduced legislation to simple visual terms.
YORKSHIRE POST
They are vastly more entertaining and carry their message better than the dull diagram type of film that was much used formerly for Government propaganda.
SCOTSM \\
The COI have used the service of Mr John Halas and Miss Joy Batchelor as directors of the cartoons, and :hev ha\e evolved a new technique for their work. Technicolor is used in preference to the more glaring hues of the normal cinema cartoon, and the action is smooth and placid compared to that found in the cartoon's American counterparts.
The public
It was the first British cartoon film I have seen and I was quite thrilled. Ft showed up the accompanying Disne\ alarmingly, and 1 noticed that the people sitting around me appreciated it.
