The National Film Board of Canada is very well-known the world over for its animated shorts, many of them Oscar-nominated. In case you've missed out on some of the gems they've produced, or just want a chance to see them again - you're in luck. The NFB has put some of the classics online for your viewing pleasure. The Sweater (about the Habs fan kid who gets a Toronto jersey instead); The Snit (about the guy who loves to saw); The Cat Came Back (probably the most known of the collection; Neighbours (the stop-motion clip about two neighbours fighting)...... A lot of stuff to see and an important part of our culture.
This is an exhibition - not a competition. Please...no wagering.

Karl, these short films are AWESOME! You da man! Yet *another* bookmark added to my collection!
Hi Karl,
I have been reading your blog for a while and now I'm kind of addicted :) How you manage to come up with one amazing link after another beats me. This one really made my day. Thanks!
Thanks for the encouragement. I'll tell you how I find them...... I have no life! But seriously, it's just patience and good, adventurous browsing - that's all.
