Cosgrove Hall, like many others, have always been very near and dear to me. I grew up with their films and TV shows and when I decided to take on my never ending quest of getting into the stop motion industry, Cosgrove Hall was my holy grail. (cue the violins) Unfortunately a year before I finished university, they closed down and my holy grail was lost ;)
BUT at least we still have the amazing work that Cosgrove Hall made. Thankfully, awesome people on YouTube have uploaded some of my earliest encounters with them.
Also, I have a very firm belief that the ever inspiring Mackinnon & Saunders are the kindred spirit of Cosgrove Hall. Even though they have been working in the television industry for many years they are currently making their own fantastic shows and I feel that in no time at all they will be leading the way for stop motion in children's television as well as being the phenomenal puppet makers that they have always been.
Wind In The Willows
Watching this always reminds me of sitting right in front of the TV on a quilted blanket made by my mum and a bowl of yoghurt with a dollop of raspberry jam in the middle and a few Rice Krispies sprinkled on top. Bliss
Enjoy! If you do love this then please buy the DVD's here> SERIES and FILM

A favourite episode of mine
This video is something I watch near enough every week. It is such a treat to be able to see a short glimpse behind the scenes at the studio.
Behind the scenes
More recently this video has popped up online. A very nice treat, indeed!
Toad and Badger puppets and a Badger armature are currently on display at MOSI in Manchester as part of our exhibition on Cosgrove Hall and its legacy. M&S also feature heavily!
