This is a melancholic childrens 3D animated series from the 'SmallFilms' team.

Bagpuss is a pink and white striped stuffed toy and is joined by his friends; Gabriel the Toad, Madeleine the Ragdoll, Professor Yaffle the carved wooden bookend and the Mice (Charliemouse, Eddiemouse, Janiemouse, Jenniemouse, Lizziemouse and Williemouse) and their marvellous mechanical mouse organ in a turn of the century shop for 'Found Things'. The group come to life when the shop is closed and before it opens they all revert back to their inanimate selves.
