Massive Online Collection of Canadian Videos


NFB.ca is a Web site where you can watch films produced by the National Film Board of Canada. Their mission is to make these films accessible to all Canadians (and the whole world) via the web.

It is an amazing collection of over 13,000 productions from the last 70 years including animation, documentaries, experimental films and alternative dramas.

For example, check out "The Cat Came Back" (above) by Cordell Barker from 1988. "This hilarious Oscar-nominated animation is based on the century-old folk song of the same name. Old Mr. Johnson makes increasingly manic attempts to rid himself of a little yellow cat that just won't stay away... Also won the 1989 Genie Award for best animated short film."
