A particularly vicious Father Time with a hit-list in his Book of Doom seeks to wipe out characters brought to life from fabric patterns. This neat concept for a cartoon washing powder commercial can be credited to Alexander Mackendrick, who worked at the J Walter Thompson advertising agency before making films at Ealing and then Hollywood.
Fable of the Fabrics was directed by Joy Batchelor and John Halas.
Fable of the Fabrics runs for 6min, and was released in 1942.
