Making of the TV Ad

Paul Haines Director of Gift Product Development and Far East Operations for Carte Blanche Ltd has seen Tatty Teddy in motion in his mind's eye for more than 10 years now; in fact ever since he designed and produced the very first Tatty Teddy soft toy from the established range of 'Me to You' greetings cards.

There had never been any question in his mind that Stop-Frame would be the right medium for Tatty Teddy.
