Children’s TV may be our mainstay – but we are a versatile bunch! Anyone remember the music video for Madonna’s Dear Jessie? Released from her album Like a Prayer in 1989, the animated video was produced by Animation City, for whom we created some of the animated sections. #40YearsofAP

This was a landmark job for us – and marked the first time we used Animo, software that brought traditional hand-drawn animation into the digital age. 2/2

Calling the Roger Red Hat generation! This well-known reading scheme of the 1990s, featuring Billy Blue Hat and Jennifer Yellow Hat, was brought to life in a children’s TV 40-minute special, The Village with Three Corners, which we worked on for HarperCollins. #40YearsofAP 1/2

Next up... Rubbish King of the Jumble! This children’s 2D animated series, made for CITV and narrated by Alexei Sayle, featured an overfed cat named Rubbish and was the first full series A Productions worked on in the 1990s – so it definitely has a special place in our hearts. #40YearsofAP

We’re taking a little trip down memory lane to celebrate our 40th birthday. Today, we bring some of the world’s best-loved children’s characters to life in animated TV and film. But did you know, over the years, we had a hand in creating animation for a string of TV adverts too? 1/2
