3	''The Gingerbread Man'' (1992) is a ''very''-short lived StopMotion cartoon created by David Wood and co-produced by [=FilmFair=] and Central Independent Television. It is loosely based on the 1976 musical play of the same name also created by David Wood, which in turn is inspired on the [[Literature/TheGingerbreadMan 19th-century fairy tale]] of the same name as well.
