Retro stop motion origami dog

[Tore]

As a kid in the late fifthies/early sixties, I loved watching a stop motion series of very short films on danish tv, starring a dog made of folded (origami style) paper.

I think it was british, and each sketch started with a man's hands folding the dog, which then came to life. No dialogue as far as I remember.

I have tried to google it, but can't find anything. Could be fun to watch it again.

Any of you know the animations?

I am not familiar with the series - but some quick googling came up with

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snip_and_Snap

 

"Snip and Snap was a 1960 British animated series from Halas & Batchelor. It was directed by the Danish paper sculptor Thok Søndergaard (Thoki Yenn) and John Halas. It featured the exploits of a dog (Snap) made of paper and pair of scissors (Snip)."

 

perhaps this info can help you google further

 

EDIT: another link

 

this last link actually has images and a video

that's cute. It reminds me a bit of the short Hash did long ago of a dog that was constructed of cut out shapes. "Fluffy"?

 

I didn't know you were allowed to cut the paper in Origami. I never was.

Ahh! That's the one! Thanks for finding him, Nancy!

Yes, Robert, I remember the Hash dog with disjointed limbs - it was somewhat avantgarde for the time.

Not to forget Nancy's own, very chic cut out animals :-)
