By the time animator Tim Hittle got round to making his second short subject featuring his characters Jay Clay and Blue, he had worked on some big stop-motion production such as 'The Wrong Trousers' and 'The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)'. The animation here is better than in his previous film 'The Potato Hunter' and he has employed the services of a talented cinematographer 'Chris Peterson', which helps to make the production immensely more satisfying on the eye. This animation can be watched here.
