Truly Canadian

If you are Canadian this next one rings true. Especially if (like me) you are a Montreal Canadiens fan, born and raised in Montréal.

Log Driver's Waltz

It's not my kind of tune but the words and animation are so charming I can't resist. This is called The Log Driver's Waltz

Another jewel

This little gem is about blackflies. Even this city girl has had to deal with them. There was an incident at a picnic where an infant Elliott had a dribble of blood running down his forehead from a blackfly bite and it solidified right then how much I hated the "great" outdoors.

Anyhow, here's the only thing I like about blackflies. They inspired this cute little ditty.

The National Film Board

We in Canada grow up looking down on ourselves a bit. Mostly because we live in the shadow of the States. People assume we're American because of how we look and sound but our entertainment and popular culture is just shy of being as cool and revered by the world and sometimes even ourselves. Except for the National Film Board. They are cool. They've won over 69 Oscars and their animation is second to none.

So this week I'd like to share with you my 5 favourite NFB animated shorts. Today, check out "The Big Snit". I'm posting the link from the NFB website and not YouTube copies. They're much clearer from the site itself. Enjoy and have a great week.
