Summer Travelling
Delayed trains, crowded carriages, and standing room only: Blitz spirit makes a parent's nightmare commute a walk in the park
Picture the worst commute you can imagine - delayed trains, a sweltering crowded carriage and no spare seats. Add in a couple of kids, luggage, buckets and spades and five years of sacrifice, hardship and nightly bombings... Are we nearly there yet? It's asking a lot for a cartoon to bolster the Blitz spirit enough to withstand such travails, but in retrospect this public information short is a jolly affair.
World War II propaganda trailer asking travellers to have patience and make concessions when travelling on trains. Film mostly consists of rostrum animation of still cartooned images with some very short pieces of true animation.
