Custard
Trust me – you will never look at custard the same way again
Animation & Artists Moving Image 1974 22 mins
Overview
Percy is a deviant from the norm at the Crumbs Custard factory – he seems to actually like his job. But perhaps a little too much? This animated tale with many Pythonesque touches is as ridiculous as it is charming. It was written, animated and directed with immense ambition by Phil Austin and Derek Hayes whilst at Sheffield Polytechnic.
