Bag Puss, Looking at Sound in Animation

I figured that the Skeleton Dance and Tom and Jerry are very traditional 2D animations, and it seems unfair to cast aside other types of animation when great sound is in all types. There is especially a standard for sound in the old school stop motions, from paper crafted ones to puppetry, the standard that forms is often a story under a narration, this is true for Bagpuss, The Clangers, Captain Pugwash, Noggin The Nog. It was Oliver Postgate to start of this distinct style and it still carries on in many Children's TV Shows today, including ones like Ballamory.

What I really like about Bag Puss and this general standard, is the really dated musical interlude. Instantly recognisable like a Jingle. I think the most successful theme tune is Pugwash because fifty odd years later it's still instantly recognisable. Another theme is this standard is for the animator/narrator to do Onomatopeia. I think it's really charming, especially with stop motions because it adds to the homely hand made feel.
