Smallfilms - Definition

Smallfilms was a partnership between Oliver Postgate (writer and narrator) and Peter Firmin (modelmaker and animator).

As Smallfilms they made a number of classic British animated children's television programmes, including:

• Noggin the Nog
• Pogles' Wood
• The Clangers
• Bagpuss
• Ivor the Engine
• Pingwings

The name "Smallfilms" is appropriate in a number of ways:

• The company was small;
• The company made short films;
• Its films were intended for small people, i. e., children.
