Ditto a short animated version of the history of evolution produced by the RTÉ Graphics Department.
The colour animation was Ireland's contribution to a series of cartoons made by European broadcasters and sponsored by the European Broadcasting Union. It won third prize at the International Festival for Animated Films in Barcelona.
'Ditto' was the brainchild of Jan Mitchell, who later designed the puppet 'Bosco' for the popular RTÉ children's TV show of that name. Jan Mitchell created the artwork for 'Ditto' with artists Joan O'Gorman and Al O'Donnell. 'Ditto' was produced and directed by Jim Jones with camerawork by Günter Wulff and background music by Louis Stewart.
'Ditto' was first broadcast on 25 December 1971 and produced by Jim Jones and Jan Mitchell
