- standeven 3y agoThe Log Driver’s Waltz still gets randomly stuck in my head to this day.
- Djle 3y agoThe relatively recent academy award winning film about animator Ryan Larkin is also mind-blowing: https://www.nfb.ca/film/ryan/ https://www.nfb.ca/film/ryan/
- svat 3y agoThat film of Log Driver's Waltz was animated by John Weldon, who has a bunch of… unique films (hard to say they're good for kids!): • To Be: https://www.nfb.ca/film/to_be/ https://www.nfb.ca/film/to_be/ • Special Delivery: https://www.nfb.ca/film/special_delivery/ https://www.nfb.ca/film/special_delivery/ • Spinnolio: https://www.nfb.ca/film/spinnolio/ https://www.nfb.ca/film/spinnolio/ BTW here's a version of the Log Driver's Waltz with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKfQ64vQZPo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKfQ64vQZPo

- joenot443 3y agoLes hivers de mon enfance étaient des saisons longues, longues. Nous vivions en trois lieux : l’école, l’église et la patinoire; mais la vraie vie était sur la patinoire. "The winters of my childhood were long, long seasons. We lived in three places – the school, the church and the skating rink – but our real life was on the skating rink." The Hockey Sweater was my favorite book growing up. I hope Canadians continue to enjoy it for generations to come.
