The Small Faces were all genuine East End mods . They were signed to Decca records initially and enjoyed major success across Europe between 1965 and 1967 with classic singles like "All or Nothing" and "Sha-La-La-La-Lee" before moving to a new label.
By late 1967, the band had felt constricted financially & creatively by manager Don Arden (father of Sharon Osbourne), and were lured by Rolling Stones' publicist Andrew Loog Oldham into signing with his new Immediate label. They soon recorded more expansive psychedelic sounding material including hit pop tunes like "Lazy Sunday" which was included with their UK number one classic concept album Ogdens Nut Gone Flake and "Itchycoo Park" which was their only stateside charting single.
The demise of the Small Faces arrived on New Years Eve 1968, when Steve Marriott walked off stage at The Alexandra Palace in London. Marriott felt that despite the success of the group, he was still not being taken seriously as a musician. He went on to achieve major status in the U.S.A with Peter Frampton in Humble Pie. The others continued as the Faces, opting to drop the "Small" after one LP as new recruits Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood towered above their new band mates. Drummer Kenney Jones later joined The Who after the death of their drummer Keith Moon. As years went on, Marriott kept recording various lineups as Humble Pie but became somewhat of a caricature and casualty of rock excess. Tragically, Steve Marriott died in a house fire in 1991 and Ronnie Lane followed him in 1997 after a long battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Keyboardist Ian McLagan has continued to tour and record with his own band as well as with artists like Billy Bragg, The New Barbarians ( a group composed of Ian, Ron Wood, Keith Richards, Stanley Clarke, and Billy Cobham), and The Rolling Stones. According to announcements at the shows on the New Barbarians tour, the proceeds of the live gigs were going to pay Ronnie Lane's medical expenses associated with Ronnie's struggle with Multiple Sclerosis.
The Small Faces remain one of British rock's most important legacy acts, with their membership having links to so many other acts. Amongst the many bands they influenced were The Jam, Ramones, Oasis and X.
There are a number of locations around London linked to the Small Faces, many to be found in the East End where they grew up.

In 1968 the Small Faces recorded a video for their track Lazy Sunday, Steve sings in his native East end accent and the video was shot in the East End using Kenney Jones parents' flat in Havering Street. The video ends with a shot of the nearby Thames.

i%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%84%A2m only dreaming
Small Faces Lyrics
If the smile on my face
Doesn't mean much anymore
Then it's all been just a waste of time
So won't you close your door?
But when I look into your eyes
I feel there's still something there
And something's all I need to hold on to
I can lie to myself
I still care
I still care about the way
And the little things you say
Won't you please come out to play?
I'm only dreaming
What good does dreaming do, when you're nowhere?
I got nobody to hold on to, yeah
But I keep on smiling, crying
See me walking down the street
Turn your head and walk away
'Cause by now you ought to know how I feel
And there's no more
I'm only dreaming
I'm only dreaming
Hoo, haha
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Doesn't mean much anymore
Then it's all been just a waste of time
So won't you close your door?
But when I look into your eyes
I feel there's still something there
And something's all I need to hold on to
I can lie to myself
I still care
I still care about the way
Won't you please come out to play?
I'm only dreaming
What good does dreaming do, when you're nowhere?
I got nobody to hold on to, yeah
But I keep on smiling, crying
See me walking down the street
Turn your head and walk away
'Cause by now you ought to know how I feel
And there's no more
I'm only dreaming
I'm only dreaming
Hoo, haha
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah
Ooh, yeah

There's a deep message here, though it blurs, I feel it nibbling at my brain.
Conformity?
Brainwashing?
Cultism?
The idea that an ideology (religious, political, ect), passed to the wrong person, can grow out of control. Take what once was and overtake it. Make it their own creation and not lose any of the dangers.
I am much better speaking to the creative side. Which is great. The style is rough and simple but it fits the tone so well. And, personally, its my favorite type of animation. The storytelling is awesome despite the metaphorical visuals too. The sound and color design back it up perfectly.
