Do you know the golden rules of tea making? The Tea Bureau set out to put your cuppa straight in this progressively designed post-war cartoon

Animation & Artists Moving Image 1947 5 mins Silent

Overview

Never underestimate the importance of the humble cuppa. And with the golden rules of The Tea Bureau at hand your brew need never be stewed. This post-war sponsored cartoon features some remarkable designs by Peter Sachs, a German animator who had worked with George Pal before emigrating to the UK before the war. His legacy as β€œArt Director” at the Larkins studio was not just the look but also the experimental spirit of British animation going forward.
