Halas in Films In Review – 1969
.

.- John Halas was certainly a great promoter of animation. And while doing this he also promoted himself. A very prolific writer in a time when animation was rarely mentoned, even in film magazines.
Chris Rushworth, whose site built around his collection of art from the Halas & Batchelor feature, Animal Farm, has sent me this article from Films In Review, 1969. (I used to buy this magazine, loyally, as a child for the reviews and articles about soundtrack music.)
Anyway, I thought it’d be fun to post the old article (which is obviously, pre-computer. As a matter of fact, pre video.)

For being written in 1969 its surprisingly accurate. Although I dare say it’s only within the last few years that animation has even begun to be seen as something other than the ugly step-sister of the film industry and even then there is still a long way to go.

An interesting article and post, Michael—many thanks!
Halas fans: ASIFA is now working with John’s daughter Vivien to—hopefully—arrange a special ASIFA DVD of Halas and Batchelor’s work. (Join or rejoin ASIFA to help make projects like this come to light!)
