    Children and Cars

    This is quite an enjoyable BP produced short feature that allows the imagination of a few young children to run riot with Henry Ford's original design of the motor car. At times their commentaries are quite earnest but their ideas of cars that fly, swim, have legs, propellers or even hovercraft jets all make easy fodder for John Halas. The animations mix the simplistic drawings any child might produce with some more complex, professional style, images and a jolly score as it delivers quite a clear message that pretty soon we will all be using these contraptions for everyday practical and enjoyable purposes all over the world. There is a rather optimistic poster inviting "Learn to walk. It's fun!" but I doubt many would have noticed it.
