This is an animated of the story of the gingerbread boy made by Dorothy Langshaw and Pamela Newsome (later Olsen) who taught in Westfield Infants School in York.  The film was made after they had attended a course on film animation. Title – The Jinjerbred boi [sic] A picture using painted cut-out pieces of card shows a couple at the gate of their cottage, with a cow and a horse and chickens in the garden and geese in the pond.  Inside the house a woman rolls out a gingerbread boy and puts it in the oven.  The cat chases a mouse and after a while the gingerbread boy jumps out of the oven and runs off with the woman and man in pursuit.  The gingerbread boy stops to talk to a cow, which joins him, and then again stops to talk to the horse, which also runs off with them.   Other animals also join in the chase.  The gingerbread boy gets a lift on the back of a fox across a river and escapes, as the couple and other animals remain looking on, stranded on the other side of the river.
