The Magic Adventures of Mumfie is a lost, early-1990s prototype short, created by Britt Allcroft at Shepperton Studios. It was a puppeteered short, and was the basis for the later-spawned, popular Mumfie animated series.
History[]
In the early 90's, Allcroft decided to adapt the Katherine Tozer Mumfie novels for a new generation of children. She first decided to film it with puppets at Shepperton Studios, before scrapping it for the series it is known as today.
Discoveries[]
The only remaining image of Mumfie is an image on the Mumfie Facebook page. Originally, Mumfie wore a blue jacket with a yellow collar and eight buttons, and Scarecrow had ears. The art style also looked closer to the Katherine Tozer books.
