Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Chorlton and the Wheelies, and friends will have a forever home in a dedicated gallery within the newly refurbished Sale Library, Trafford.
This remarkable collection celebrates a unique chapter in British animation film and TV history and holds a special place in the childhood memories of so many.
Featuring much-loved and iconic characters created by the award-winning Manchester studio, the exhibition will add an exciting new visitor experience to the library.
The exhibition features original puppets, props, sets, and scripts, displayed alongside the storybooks that inspired classics such as The Wind in the Willows and The BFG. As visitors meet their favourite characters – Postman Pat, Noddy and many more – they’ll discover the fascinating history of the studio, explore the artistry behind the animation process, and celebrate a creative legacy that continues to inspire generations of storytellers and animators.
