This is a Halas and Batchelor short produced for the British Medical Association featuring foot care . You see if you buy children shoes that are ill fitting they end up with painful feet . The story is told via five toes who after spending a whole day walking around in a pair of ill fitting shoes have to endure the torture of dancing around all night at a disco
Being a short film with a message it does resemble another H&B cartoon DYING FOR A SMOKE but this one is slightly more entertaining and you don't get the constant being lectured to feel that often lets these type of shorts down . One thing that does greatly help is the soundtrack which is genuinely hip and resembles that song that goes " So tired , tired of waiting , tired of waiting for you " . One slightly negative thing is the very upper middle class tones of the toes when they talk which seems somewhat strange listening to them today but it's not a bad animated short
