Whether you like this or not, there are two things I feel are wrong with it.
First- it's far too long-I had to have two tries before I could sit through the whole 13 minutes and after the first three or four minutes I felt like I'd stopped learning any more about Accy. Surely a cartoon should be short and snappy?
Second- if it's promoting Accrington why do I never get to see the town? The friendly voices with the well remembered accent are nice but the cartoon actually distracts you from listening to them.
And the target audience-artists and the arts community,heads of councils,leaders of Public bodies-why are they being targeted? With what aim in mind?
£3000 is not a lot of money but I think it misses the other three targets and won't have any effect on the three above. Well, maybe those in the first group will be amused.
