The Tocher is a 1938 promotional film for the GPO made by Lotte Reiniger. More information can be found at Screenonline; the film can also be found on the BFI DVD release We Live in Two Worlds.
Reiniger's interest in fairy tales is apparent, although this film ends on a parodic note: the treasure bestowed upon the hero by the fair folk turns out to be a post office savings bank book.
