    Charley says (no, not that one) that Britain’s new towns are great.
    Meet Charley, your jovial cartoon guide to Britain’s changing towns and cities. Interestingly, the New Towns Act of 1946 is not explicitly mentioned in this film, with the recommendations presented as if they had been conjured up by a popular movement. Halas & Batchelor worked with the Central Office of Information on seven Charley films which communicated many of the landmark policies of the post-war Labour Government.

    Halas & Batchelor did some outstanding work. The character design and animation here is beautiful. Out here in the USA,most people remember them for “DoDo,The Kid From Outer Space” which uses limited animation.

      H&B also dabbled in outsourced animation for American companies like KIng Features (Popeye) and Rankin/Bass (The Jackson 5).

    I grew up in Runcorn New Town. Most everybody disliked it. In the long run the landscaping was its redeeming element.They planted thousand of trees and bushes they are now big and hide the harsh cement architecture and concentrated housing layout.

    This where the saying ‘a proper charley’ originated. Churchill’s opposition used it as a derogatory term and it stuck

    Now known as the 'controversial for some' 15-minute cities. Good ideas never grow old.
    Total dominance of public space by car drivers was a historical blip, which lasted for a few decades in the later 20th century and gradually disappeared in the early 21st, starting first in Europe and quickly spreading to the rest of the world.

    Well, not quite so many stabbings, shootings and occasional acid-throwings then. But that's progress.

    Strange people never consider building underground, taking advantage of Earth insulation.

      People like natural light, which tends not to travel very far into the Earth. But if you could solve this issue somehow, then people would likely to do it.

      @@thoughtsurferzone5012 Skylights require flat surface that is unoccupied above, though, negating much of the advantage of building this way.
