This Norman McLaren / National film board of Canada short from 1953 was shown a lot on the BBC when I was growing up.
The message seems even more relevant today.
Oh and the electronic soundtrack was cutting edge stuff then.

@emsquared That's when good neighbours become good friends.
@Black_Flag don't make me sing it.
@emsquared Kept waiting for Charlene and Scott to turn up. No dice. I don;t know when you grew up but I;d never seen that on the BBC at all. Just lots of Bagpuss and Big Ted and Little Ted and Derek Griffiths.
@Black_Flag national film board of Canada stuff seemed a regular offering somewhere on the Beeb when I was young. I remember BBC2 showing The big snit (apocalypse animation) and a similar one about procrastination both of which have lines I still trott out.
@emsquared I certainly remember their films being on there but I also think I remember finding them boring. I preferred Laurel and Hardy or Flash Gordon.
@Black_Flag loved Laurel and Hardy. Never found Charlie Chaplin funny. Clever but never funny. I'm probs older but the Banana Splits really meant I was tripping without chemicals from a very young age. Also remember a Brit made cartoon series called Tomfoolery which included Edward Lear poems with a fish in a bowl on stilts.
They took a lot of acid spangles back then.
No wonder we went to the Moon. Some people really were that high.
@emsquared They were still showing the Banana Splits when I was watching. I just thought it was dumb though.
@Black_Flag In retrospect it was a filler for linking cartoons. My trouble was I fully entered into these worlds when I was young. Maybe an ex ape from my supposed all too real world.
@Black_Flag I was heavily into the clangers. Warped my brain.

@emsquared Oh yes, of course.

Fingerbobs. I didn't really get that one.
