Both Charlie and the boy appear in the same frame during the film but Andy instead used them to book-end the piece and round it off. The 3D element “involved a lot of running back and forth” according to Andy which is why his father-in-law came out to help with getting the perspective just right.Įither end of the bridge there are two figures, one being a Chaplin himself and the other being a boy from a Chaplin film “The Orphan Asylum”. There are footprints on the other side of the road which when stood on makes the trees, buildings and telegraph poles line up with everything behind it, giving an almost seamless and transparent look to the filmstrip. The windows on the original were also said to line up with the windows on the houses behind, Andy took this idea and applied it to the entire piece. Instead of the bridge simulating a filmstrip, Andy decided to paint the strip itself complete with frame borders and the reel holes.

Andy himself calls it “fantastic” end enjoy it so much he has linked it directly into the new artwork. The Great Dictator was Chaplin’s first speaking role and his speech is seen as one of the greatest ever made. Andy would often use the family cine-projector to watch the some of the chaplin films including The Great Dictator. Andy explained his connection to the silent actor and said “I love Charlie Chaplin, I remember watching some of his movies as a kid”. Andy Dice Davies, who goes by the street artist name “ Dice67” was asked by the council to bring the life back into the piece after Hannah Wright, local community volunteer, campaigned to save it. The only options were to let it rot or completely repaint it, and with such history behind it, there’s no surprise that Cheltenham Borough Council chose the latter. The Charlie Chaplin mural, which was inspired by the pupil’s ideas, has been in Cheltenham since 1994 but in recent years the harshness of nature has put the artwork into a state beyond repair. Little did Steve know that what those young people said would inspire him to create one of the longest lasting and iconic pieces of public art in Cheltenham.
