They’ll be showing some of their archive footage along with meeting all you guys out there!

Cosgrove Hall go back as far as 1969 when they were called Stop Frame Productions. Operating from Manchester Brian and Mark had the passion and desire for animation is what got them their success. Their first series was called Chorlton and the Wheelies named after the district they lived in. The show sold worldwide.
Later in 1975 Stop Frame Productions changed their name to Cosgrove Hall Films. The studio moved on to make Dangermouse. It became one of the studio’s earliest international successes. In 1981 they moved onto making a full feature-length film. This was once again a success! After winning a BAFTA and an International Emmy Award.
