Animated stick-children kick a ball about to reveal what they'd like for tea - in this simple but effective animation for Shippam's pastes

Overview
This brief animated advert shows a stick-girl and a stick-boy kicking a ball about which soon reveals itself, in the packshot, to be the lid of a pot of Shippam's meat and fish pastes - accompanied by a graphic which says 'for tea!'
Shippam, one of Chichester's most famous family businesses, began as a grocery store in 1786, evolving into a food manufacturer by 1886. A range of potted meats and fish pastes was introduced in 1894 and Shippam's products gained hugely in popularity. The Chichester premises expanded throughout the 20th century and by 1960 the company entered the ready-meals market with a canned Chicken Supreme. After a number of ownership changes from 1974 onwards, the company became part of Prince's Ltd in 2001, and the Shippam's brand survives to this day. Various advertising agencies produced commercials for Shippam's including the London Press Exchange, later part of Leo Burnett and Foote, Cone and Belding Ltd.
