Joy Batchelor was an integral part of the husband-and-wife team Halas & Batchelor Cartoon Films, a pioneering British animation studio that produced the classic allegorical fable Animal Farm along with many highly popular TV series throughout the 1940s and 1950s. This series of films is based on well-known fairy tale stories by The Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault and Hans Christian Anderson. Each eight-minute-long film is animated with simple yet delightful cutout collages based on bold watercolor designs by Swedish illustrator Sunniva Kellquist.
