        GB Animation  (Gaumont-British)
        http://www.dhprod.com
       
        In 1944 American animator David Hand came to England to set up an
        animation studio for J Arthur Rank at Moor Park. 19 films were produced
        by this short-lived venture (9 'Animaland' cartoons, and 10 'Musical Paintbox' 
        toons). The films were modelled after the Disney fashion - not surprising,
        given Hand's background working for the Mouse House on 'Snow White',
        'Bambi', and many 'Silly Symphonies'. Comedian Bob Monkhouse actually
        began his career here as a Gag Artist, whilst animator Bob Godfrey was
        rejected by the studio. Characters created here included Ginger Nutt,
        Corny the Crow and Dusty the Mole. Feature film versions of 'The Hunting
        of the Snark' and 'The First Men in the Moon' were planned but never
        made it to the screen. The studio closed in 1950. Today, the rights to
        the toons created there are held by David Hand's son, who has fashioned
        modern versions of them for distribution worldwide...
