Show detail Hide detail

The third program in a four-part series on Canadian film focuses on the development of animated film in Canada, starting with Norman McLaren's experimental works of the 1940s made at the National Film Board (NFB). Excerpts of films alternate with commentary by host John Gould on the development of the NFB, the target of public opposition to seemingly frivolous "fun films"; and the use of animation in educational, promotional, commercial and feature films. Animator Colin Low is interviewed by Gould on his use of satire, the influence of advertising on animation, Canadian style, and McLaren's approach. Excerpts that illustrate why Canada is a leading producer of animated film include: "Neighbours" (1952), "Begone Dull Care" (1949), "Hen Hop" (1942) and "Sun and Fun in Canada" (1961) by Norman McLaren; "Op Hop-Hop Op" (1966) by Pierre Hébert; "My Financial Career" (1962) by Gerald Potterton; "Cityscape" (1965) by Ryan Larkin; "Control Yourself" (Jim Mackay); "The Sex Sell" (1966) by Peter Pearson & Don Mulholland, written for "This Hour Has Seven Days"; "The Romance of Transportation in Canada" (1952) and "Universe" (1960) by Colin Low; and "The Drag", an NFB short on smoking commissioned by National Health and Welfare. A clip from "The Tale of the Moose" is shown as an example of promotional film on biculturalism that was not used. Also shown are excerpts of :"Christmas Crackers", "A is for Architecture" and works by artist Michael Snow, Louis de Niverville, and Carlos Marchiori. Examples of animated titles from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation are: "World of Sport"; "Rasputin Was a Nice Old Man"; "Mastroianni"; and "Anything Can Happen on Channel 6". Present-day animation is examined as are the influences on Canadian animation by artists in Canada and in other countries.<60mn>
