Fable of the Fabrics

1942 · 6 min Animation Fantasy

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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Fable of the Fabrics is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1942. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
