	Animation Room: Ivor the Engine (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ivor the Engine is the first of seven series from Smallfilms, a cowshed-based studio that Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin operated from 1958 to 1980.
		The 50s and 60s, were, of course, when TV animation started to take off: in America, Hanna-Barbara and Jay Ward were frantically simplifying their characters and settings to give them as much animation as possible; in Japan, Osamu Tezuka was using minimal animation to bring comic panels to life.
		Ivor the Engine, like its follow-up Noggin the Nog and segments of the later Bagpuss, is done with cutout animation; this means that, while movement is limited, the characters and especially the backgrounds are quite detailed.

		As the name suggests, Ivor The Engine concerned the adventures of a small green railway engine, operating for the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company (located "In the top left-hand corner of Wales" according to the narrator).
		Ivor's boiler was fired by Idris the dragon and the little engines suitably Welsh ambition was to sing in the choir like his friend Evans the Song (not to run a fine drinking establishment then, like Pisshead the Pub?).
		According to Oliver Postgate the screening time of Ivor The Engine (1.15pm) clashed with board meetings at Associated Rediffusion, but not wishing to miss a single episode the board members ordered a television be wheeled in and the meeting stopped whilst they watched Ivor.

		Originally made in fl and white, the stories and some new ones, were filmed again in colour in the 1970’s, but are still animated by a simple direct method that gave the series its original charm.

		Ivor the engine is a wonderful childrens series about a small welsh train and his adventures.
		With its very simple plotline, fantastic narration, and steady place, Ivor the Engine is a show that children can easily follow.
		With funny and gripping characters, that’s what really made the show for me. I first watched Ivor on the late 80's reruns of the show and was gripped from the very start.

		In the early 70’s the original films were remade and 40, five minute, colour films were shown on mainstream TV throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s.
		Although everything in the series is totally fictitious, it does not detract from the reality of the stations and people who live in that imaginary place.
		The stories which revolve around Ivor the Engine and his driver – Jones the Steam, Dai the Station Master, the extremely snooty Mrs Porty and Idris the Dragon have delighted children and adults for more than three generations.

		I bought this because of the fond memories I had of this in the past, it used to occupy that slot at the end of children's TV and the news and my childhood memories didn't let me down.
		Ivor the engine reflects another age, a golden age, when choirs sang, visited the seaside for a day out and ate fish and chips.
		The animation is pretty basic, but the stories are strong and for the price you will struggle to find a better way to relive a different age or introduce yourself and your children to the magic of dragons and steam engines.

	An Interview With Oliver Postgate
		Ivor was made first of all in fl and white, and then in 1975 when I’d run out of ideas, Monica Simms at the BBC said “What we’ve always wanted is Ivor’”, so I said “Shall I make them again?” and they said “Oh, yes please!”.
		The man who recently tried to remake Ivor the Engine with a computer for BBC Wales - who had adopted it as their mascot, even though I told quite straight out that he was completely bogus Welsh - got an expert with a computer to imitate my way of working.
		Nick Park said that Ivor the Engine was the thing that set him off into animation, that I was his inspiration, which was very kind of him to say that.

		It got put in Ivor's steam boiler and out popped the lovely little Welsh dragon Idris, who then lived in the boiler.
		The most important thing to remember is the engine sound, "cher de cuff, cher de cuff, cher de cuff Whoo whoo!", which was always a highlight!

		After a bit of tapping away on the evening train commute, I had a way of running a set of words through each engine, generating a list of sites and interrogating them to determine what software they were running.
		On the whole is seems that the MSN search engine is indeed placing IIS hosted sites higher in the results more frequently than other webservers.
