Kingston Movie Makers' History of Walton


An exemplary piece of animation by John Daborn, who bases this epic animation on Henry Stringer’s ‘stills’ travelogues called ‘Musical Paintbox’. Not only is this film unique in its representation of the location, but also in its technical achievements. Alan Daborn and contemporaries, notably Ken Clark who assisted on the film, were part of an animation collective who had grand ideas of rivalling Disney.
