First off, let me just say what an outstanding claymation short this is. I do, however, have a question. Does anyone know anything about this short?

It appears to be made for the Phillips corporation; manufacturers of various appliances, lighting equipment, etc.

I just wonder what it was created for; perhaps a convention for Phillips?

If you do a search on the Internet Movie Data Base there is no mention of this title.

If you just "Google" it, the only thing that comes up are references to the Super 8 release from Derann.

This is a true rarity.

Dollywood was a Joop Geesink company here in the Netherlands (1946-1971).
George Pal started the doll animation tradition for Philips from 1934 to 1939.
He flew to the US when the war started.

The film is titled PHILLIPS CAVALCADE and is a Dollywood production, I believe from the sixties. Derann renamed it,on the boxes and in their catalogs, "Dollywood Cavalcade" perhaps to avoid confusion with the earlier George Pal film PHILLIPS CAVALCADE, from 1939,and is being listed as such ever since.
And it isn't claymation. It is puppet animation, using wooden models. Anyway, it is charming and as good as the old Pal originals from the thirties.
