Canadian Animation Online

One of my passions is film, and animation in particular. In the art house theaters that I encountered in my college years, one of the treats was when an animation festival was slated to appear. In these, many works by directors you might know (but many more by folks you didn't know) would be displayed, one after the other. The producers would string together enough shorts to make an overall program length of an hour and a half or so.

One of the most consistently funny animation groups were the ones sponsored by the National Film Board of Canada. Do titles like "Blackfly" or "The Balgonie Birdman" ring a bell? No? Then get yourself over to the NFB webpage listed below to view any of 50 animated short films right in your web browser. You'll be glad you did. You can search the films as well, by title, director, production year, and more. Enjoy!
