The National Film Board of Canada has a long and honourable history of supporting animators of every persuasion, and promoting their works.
As part of this ongoing effort, they have been slowly augmenting their online collection of Canadian animator’s short films.
Make sure you explore beyond the more famous Canadian animators (Paul Driessen, Caroline Leaf, David Fine & Alison Snowden, Norman McLaren,
Pierre Trudeau, etcetera), and you will discover some real gems of animation art.
