i have very poignant memories of watching this canadian vignette in primary school. i think we watched it during recesses that were spent indoors due to inclement weather. it was always a treat. i loved thinking about floating down the river on a log.
for some reason this song popped into my head this morning, probably because of the drizzle. today is looking like it will be one long indoor recess.
I have to jump in with a recommendation. This short and 100's of others are offered on the National Film Boards super-awesome-fuck-copyright-norms-website.
Or how about checking out the forestry industry in T-Bay at the time of your birth? Look no further than the short doc The Forest in Crisis. Spoiler: Beardmore looks the same! Lots of modern stuff too. I recommend a browsing all then sorting by popularity...
i remember this 'toon so fondly! it was on t.v. when i was a kid but i don't remember what channel it was on. it was played between programs, instead of commercials maybe? jayBot- nice to see you on boo's blog!
I wish my dance pleased girls completely...

Remember Paddle to the Sea
everyone's favorite educational film about watersheds? Or the excellent animated short The Cat Came Back?

Yup.. Do people really pay for cable?
@jayB0T you're always a wealth of knowledge jason. i am pretty sure i have seen the forest in crisis if it involves toxic waterways.

ReplyDeleteI think they played it on YTV sometimes? Or maybe TVO? My grandad was actually a log-driver at one point, so I always loved this too!
