Dick Spanner P.I.

Compilation of a 1986 British stop-motion animated comedy series which parodied Chandleresque detective shows. The title character and protagonist was Dick Spanner, a robotic private detective who works cases in a futuristic urban setting. The show made frequent use of puns and visual gags. Produced by Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson, the series was created and written by Terry Adlam, who had previously worked on effects for Anderson's Terrahawks. It was also the basis for the Anderson-created Tennents Pilsner advertising campaign using the Lou Tennent character (voiced by Vivian Stanshall).

Since the beginning of time, there has been a conflict between the forces of good and evil in man. From time to time, evil forces loom over both the individual and all of humanity, causing cataclysmic situations that ultimately mean the self-destruction of humanity, and these are, of course, wars waged with modern weapons, the consequences of which were felt most keenly by the inhabitants of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, upon whom the two atomic bombs were dropped. This film marks, in a metaphorical way, the threat of wars, while through the images of the horrors of the consequences of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, an appeal is expressed to humanity that this should never happen again.

Yo Yo the Clone, Too

On the stage of a deserted movie theater, a man in a black robe appears and performs a series of yo-yo tricks. In this surreal work of celluloid animation, Yo Yo the Clone, Too shows the yo-yo coming to life and spawning a number of organic forms — including a clone of the yo-yoist himself. Set to sounds reminiscent of 1970s video games, the film is a hypnagogic unfolding of shapes and sounds with a touch of Somersaulter-Moats and Somersaulter's signature Kafkaesque uncanniness.
