Stagger Working Hours: Cattle
Official government permission to stagger into work late. Hurrah!
Advert 1959 mins
Overview
The crush hour commute is nothing new. This compact 'cartoon modern' style public information short sets out to tackle the problem by recommending flexible working hours. Perfectly designed for the small screen by Halas & Batchelor Cartoon Films, it may not have solved the problem, but it still speaks volumes across the half century since its production.
