2 ( Clocks & Woodwinds ) are really nice but Kings & Queens is outstanding : As well as great stuff featuring the main characters ( Tog et al ) there is a sublime piece of animation where cardboard characters based on playing cards are animated - the look, ambience & motion is incredibly atmospheric - up there with the pipe cleaner people in A Little House & Flowers, & the moving woodwork tools sequence in Woodwork. The atmosphere ( as elsewhere in some of OP's work )is somewhat like the Eastern European animation of some bits of Jan Svankmayer & Karel Zeman. I take my hat of to you Mr Postgate & Firmin & assorted Pogles yet again !
Although of course it retains the usual charming simplicity.
