The story of Canadian animation
Nearly 40 years ago, the distinguished Scottish documentary film-maker John Grierson founded the National Film Board of Canada. Since then, this remarkable organisation has produced, among its varied output, a steady stream of brilliant cartoon films - witty, irreverent, informative, sometimes didactic but never dull.
This programme looks at many of these cartoons and at the animators who made them. including Norman MeLaren , who is recognised as one of the greatest animators of all time.
